&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Judgment made on April 1, 2009: Sony gave the PS2 a price cut, but the price for the PlayStation 3 did not get a price cut. The community got this prediction right. -- The Industry Standard  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sony&#039;s PlayStation 3 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gamegrep.com/industry_news/16477-november_2008_npd_wii_sells_over_2_million_ds_15_million_gears_of_war_2_sells_156_million/&quot;&gt;is lagging&lt;/a&gt; behind Nintendo&#039;s Wii and Microsoft&#039;s Xbox 360. Michael Pachter, a top gaming analyst with Wedbush Morgan Securities expects Sony to reduce the price of the entry-level PS3 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/news/pachter-ps3-at-299-in-april-xbox-360-price-cut-to-follow/?biz=1&quot;&gt;from $399 to $299 by April&lt;/a&gt; to better compete with the other two game consoles. The Wii retails for $250 and the Xbox 360&#039;s entry-level console, the Arcade, sells for $199.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prediction: Sony will announce that it reduce the PlayStation 3 80GB model to $299 or less by April 1.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Judgment made on April 1, 2009: Sony gave the PS2 a price cut, but the price for the PlayStation 3 did not get a price cut. The community got this prediction right. -- The Industry Standard  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sony&#039;s PlayStation 3 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gamegrep.com/industry_news/16477-november_2008_npd_wii_sells_over_2_million_ds_15_million_gears_of_war_2_sells_156_million/&quot;&gt;is lagging&lt;/a&gt; behind Nintendo&#039;s Wii and Microsoft&#039;s Xbox 360. Michael Pachter, a top gaming analyst with Wedbush Morgan Securities expects Sony to reduce the price of the entry-level PS3 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/news/pachter-ps3-at-299-in-april-xbox-360-price-cut-to-follow/?biz=1&quot;&gt;from $399 to $299 by April&lt;/a&gt; to better compete with the other two game consoles. The Wii retails for $250 and the Xbox 360&#039;s entry-level console, the Arcade, sells for $199.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prediction: Sony will announce that it reduce the PlayStation 3 80GB model to $299 or less by April 1.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sony&#039;s PlayStation 3 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gamegrep.com/industry_news/16477-november_2008_npd_wii_sells_over_2_million_ds_15_million_gears_of_war_2_sells_156_million/&quot;&gt;is lagging&lt;/a&gt; behind Nintendo&#039;s Wii and Microsoft&#039;s Xbox 360.
