Sony doesn't have to break even to drop Price

sony would still drop the price of pS3 even without breaking even, because it's selling Playstation 2 and PSP at a profit rate and it's selling software for Playstation 2, PsP and playstation 3 which brings in more money for PS3, also sony did profit from it's playstation section in the Q3 of 2008. playstation 3 production cost doesn't have to break even to bring in profit for sony as long as PS2 and PSP sells and as long as software sells they will be making tons of money which will not only balance the lost for PS3 it will also bring in profit, also if u look at PS3 software sales they have increased ALOT because of all the good games being released for PS3 lately so this brings in alot of money to sony for it's playstation section. so stop saying sony would go bankrup or give up on PS3 because it's losing money, it's sales already increased more than 50% from last year and we all know sony would a price cut for ps3 early 2009 which brings more sales for PS3 and alot of good games are being released in 09 for Sony also the economy will recover if not next than a year after and PS3 is a 10 year console so it's too early to talk abouto PS3 is loosing cause the race is not over until all 3 console stop production not the first console to stop production.

Could you back up your argument a bit more with facts/numbers on how this is not true?

Sorry, not saying you are wrong I am just like to know where people are coming from when they make arguments.

The only problem is if they continue to live on the success of the PS2, then in a way they become their own worst competition. Continuing to support the PS2 is great and all, but a small # of these customers won't make the jump to the current gen, or might do it with a different brand, due to cheaper price point/games available. I believe Sony already lost a good chunk of gamers to the Wii because of stopping backwards compatability. A large PS2 ;ibrary at home couls have swayed some if it was supported by the PS3. But Sony had to cut there operating cost.cainetao11
