Sony Corp. cut the price of its PlayStation 2 video game console by up to 25% in the United States, matching the price of Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox, whose sales have soared recently after a similar move.
Sony said it would start promoting a new price of $149 for the PS2 in the United States, including an optional network adapter for online games. The stand-alone PS2 had sold for $179, and it was $199 with the adapter.
