New PS3 model and/or price cuts seem unlikely for now

[xtop]

With the recent win over the 360 and the win for blu-ray over hd dvd, it seems sony isnt too worried about changing anything for the time being.

Seems to me however since people didnt mind paying 499, that they should bring out a new model, but whatever.

Reuters followed up on this statement by asking Steinberg if this means all the pricing pressure predicted by analysts hadn't actually materialized. Steinberg simply replied, "It's leading us to think so." The PS3 finally managed to outsell Microsoft's Xbox 360 in the US in January, and Steinberg pointed towards the upcoming "AAA" titles along with the recent Blu-Ray format victory. Clearly, the preceding is going to help PS3 sales this year.
"On a macro level, we've got leverage to turn that into a trend. Whether or not it continues going in February, the way I look at it is us structuring the chess board to our favor, which is without question happening," added Steinberg. "The year of the PlayStation 3 started in fall 2007, I think it will be an extended year, we are feeling positive momentum."
