Squeenix America and Europe boss John Yamamoto is one of you. The people. When it comes to gauging the worth of a PS3 price-cut, he's not looking at profit margins, or bottom lines, or his dreams of a lovely little villa in Tuscany. He's got only your hip pockets in mind.

I think USD 500 for PS3 is still a bit expensive for most gamers. Most of them think that price is still high.

Strange, though. Could have sworn we heard the same thing yesterday, from another America/Europe exec for a Japanese company with a big-money PS3 exclusive due next year. I'm sure they're not worried about the PS3's installed base affecting those investments. No. They're just looking out for you, Joe Consumer! Which is awfully swell of them.
