Tecmo Asks Sony To Cut Price On PS3

Kenji Matsubara, Tecmo Koei CEO, has stated that in a recent meeting with Sony representatives he requested a PS3 price cut.  In an interview with CVG recently, Matsubara had this to say;

“Whenever I discuss this with Sony reps I always ask them: ‘Please cut the price’, but I don’t have a clear view on Sony’s situation…Yes, from a publisher’s point of view we would welcome a price cut for PS3, and we are waiting, definitely.

“It’s definitely a way of boosting the PS3 market, but it’s Sony’s strategy and I don’t know their cost structure. Sony introduced cutting-edge technology in the PS3, that’s why people in the industry accept that the PS3 cost is so high, but we’d welcome a price cut.”

I’m pretty sure everyone feels the same way as Matsubara.
