In Brief: Sony trims PlayStation2 retail prices
Sony America is cutting the price of its PlayStation2 game system to $130.
The company said it expected the move to increase consumer demand for the platform that has already sold some 101 million units along with around 1 billion pieces of software.
PlayStation2 has been selling for about $150 and has more than half of the U.S. game-console market; however, overall U.S. video-game sales have been in a slump this year.
Sony will release PlayStation3 in the fall.
