BC cost Sony about $27 per machine, so this move cannot truly be a bid to bring the price of the PS3 down. I think the drop in price was merely an attempt to make the loss of BC palpable. I very much doubt they are really trying to please consumers by cutting their game selection from 4,000+ to 65.

Therefore, it seems to me that this move is not meant to appease consumers at all, but to appease developers.

I believe they feel that with the PS3 supporting BC, that many gamers are taking a "wait and see" approach to actual PS3 games choosing instead to use their purchase strictly as a Blu-ray player.

I suspect this move is probably their way of upping PS3 game sales to keep any more developers and/or exclusive titles from jumping ship. With only 65 games on the market to date (only 30 of which being even worth glancing at), I can't say I'd blame them.

I'm "waiting to see" if Sony gets their head out of there ass -- before I buy one.
