As pristine20 said, a console that pumps out 200,000 consoles at the current price (within an economic crisis), in a week, is HARDLY dying.

You're missing the point. When Sony is loosing a significant amount of money on each console sold, and the buyers aren't buying enough games to make those sales profitable in the long run, then high sales only make matters worse.

The Blu-ray player and the hard drive is killing the PS3 (in North America). The manufacturing costs are too high. Microsoft learned the hard way in the previous generation. The hard drive cost was the main reason the Xbox never became profitable despite a higher software attach rate than the competition.

Exactly!
