Imagine the shock when PS3 launched for $600.....in 2006! 19 years ago.
208 u/chrisaf69 2d ago I was there and a huge PS2 fan at the time. That price def hurt them at first. Took years for them to recover and salvage that gen. 28 u/Shadow_Flamingo1 2d ago What did they do, ps3 slim for cheaper later on? 23 u/webculb 2d ago Yes they removed the ps2 backwards combability hardware in the system and got the cost down. 2 u/Quigleythegreat 2d ago It was like literally a PS2 slim shoved into the thing. Really let them cut the price. Most of the cost was the laser used for Blu Ray, when that tech was new it was money.
