You need to study corporate finance.  Sony is in zero danger of insolvency.

1. its doing better than hd-dvd

2. are you saying thats bad?

3. nintendo is destroying everyone atm, even 360

4. they cut 160 jobs, not 1,600. this happens alot in big companies

5. how is a price cut a bad thing, get a clue. if sony does a price cut they will sell alot more than 360s. they are selling more ps3s worldwide than 360s worldwide and cost 200 dollars more. want to know what happens when it suddenly costs 100 dollars more? oh wait,it will cost the same amount, not 100 more, because of the elite. lol

Blu ray is outselling HD-DVD 9:2

 

Everyone is losing the war to the DSlite

 

nobody wanted the 20g SKU just Like nobody wants teh core 360

 

check your figures, it was only 160 jobs. people lose thier jobs. it happens.

 

Price cuts arent a bad thing. in the PS3's Case, if the drop the price even just 20 dollars, suddenly its only 100 dollars more, thanks to the 480 dollar elite

 

you recive an auto fail for mentioning G4.

if sony didn't have the power to take some losses every now and then, they wouldn't have come in the gaming industry in the first place. sony isn't dieing, they just aren't doing that great atm.

Hmm, lets evaluate this post shall we.

1. Blu Ray is still winning

2. only 10% of consumers that bought the PS3 actually bought the 20gb unit, it was better for them to discontinue it.

3. According to VGChartz (http://vgchartz.com/) Sony's only behind by 3.38mil

4. Your numbers are a little off with this one -_- its 160 jobs.

5. A price drop would hardly kill them, they'd keep losing money, but they would make it back at some point provided the system and software sells well.

I find it funny that so many people are saying that Sony's dead or dying and basing the whole console war off of a console that's been out over a year and 2 other consoles that have been out a few months.

Thank you. Sony could come last in the next five console generations, and still have enough money to make the PS8.

The death of Sony is far off but not the death of the PS3. The most realistic scenario is that it will limp along in 3rd place but not completely fail. Sony as a whole has been battered by stronger competition for years. They are one of the most least profitable of the Fortune 1000 companies.
