1/ what is the link between Sony and F1 ?? (plz)

 

 @ your point number 1. (1)That is the most nieve comment Ive ever seen. The F1 financially has always been untouchable. F1 is WW. If the (2)crunch is seriuosly about to affect that sport, it shows how the crunch is far worse than people realise. Price will be a huge factor over the next 2 years. (3)Most analysts predict the worst (or lowest point of the crunch) to be midway through next year. The problems could be around for 2 years yet.

 

 1/ thx you.

2/ u can take a LOT of other company/market, not only F1. And, overall, this is not an evidence.

We are suppose to be in slowdown since a lot of time (+1 year) and video gaming market is still in a very good health ...

3/ I thought it was right now.

Final, to make it clear, people that can"'t buy a console because opf the economic crisis, will not buy a console whatever it is at 300$ or 400$.

I agree, I can see a 50$ price cut in NA to help people a little, but I m not even sure it is needed. I want to see how is the xbox360/PS3 ratio in sales in late october/early November.

If a child wants a console for christmas the parent will choose another if they cant afford a particualr one. Especially if they have like 3-5 children. They could never afford to get expensive gifts for all. And you are right F1 on it's own is not pure evidence. So I'll add that Woolworths is on the verge of troubles and Miss Sixty in the UK is the latest to go into administration. The crunch is felt here to, and our house market is the worst it's been for 12 years.
