Ubisoft CEO demands PS3 price cut!

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot seems a little concerned over the price of the PS3 and is demanding that Sony drop it's price or risk losing the console war to the XBOX 360 and Nintendo Wii.

"They have to decrease the price quite significantly" Guillemot said at the recent Reuters Global Technology, Media and Telecoms Summit in New York.

It's a bit of no-brainer that lowering the cost of PS3 would make it more appealing to consumers, but we're still too waiting on the real killer games that'll make Sony's console a must-have. However, perhaps we'll see such in the 34 titles due to release for the machine in the coming year.

According to April's NPD numbers that were released yesterday, he has a point.  Not only is the PS3 being obliterated in sales, Sony's cheaper PS2 barely outsold the XBOX 360.
