Feck off. Not quite the exact words by Peter Dille the senior vice president of Marketing for Sony, but is heavily implied. In an article by Bloomberg about the heat from Publishers to lower the price of the Playstation 3 he said:

According to Peter Dille Sony has no immediate plans to reduce the price and have concerns for profitability and install base.
With Nintendo owning half the market and Microsoft getting got results from Xbox 360, Sony have got the short end of the stick with most criticisms heading in its direction.

Oh before I forget, Sony I have some advice. Lower the price of the PS3.
