Rumours have been abounding that the PS3 has been getting some price cuts in order to fuel sales in Japan. Which is just crazy even on the surface of it, because it implies that PS3 sales are lagging. Sales may not be as good as the unstoppable-seeming Wii, but sales are still doing quite well, thank-you.

Either way, the PS3 is not being discounted across Japan to spur sales. What is happening instead is that one chain decided to reduce prices temporarily as a promotion.

So there ya go. Things aren’t so bad. Go back to sleep.
