Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter believes Sony couldn't pick a better time or place to announce further price cuts for the PS3 and PS2 than next week's Tokyo Game Show.

Not only would a much-rumoured price announcement take some of the shine off rival Microsoft's Halo 3 launch on September 25, but it would also help the US industry see a further increase in sales for the rest of 2007.

Although Pachter has been about right before, in regards to the PS3 being reduced in price to $499 for the 60GB version, I dont see Sony dropping the price again soon, if they do they'll be seen as being increasingly desperate to sell PS3s at any cost in the long term.
