    Frankly, it is quite difficult to understand why Sony is deciding to slash the price of its PS2 console now. The Playstation 3 console has been on the market for quite some time already and is already lagging behind the two other current generation gaming console. Many were expecting a massive PS3 price cut to give a welcomed boost to the PS3 sales.
