The PSP and PS2 are keeping the PS3 on life support, both need to get more and more support ASAP. Thankfully for Sony SE of all people are giving them some huge PSP games so that will help them.

This is getting to a point now where Sony have to let go of profit, they need install base. Yes that sounds retarded but it's anything but. software will make them back there money.

 

Considering the recent round of layoffs Sony needs profit more than anything.  The speculated March price cut may be further away than everyone thinks.

 

Console companies make money from Software, Sony cant ignore all that money anymore. They have to go deserpate and cut the price by $100. After that if numbers remain the way they are then Sony need to settle for third place and make profit.

Not all of them, Nintendo makes bank for every Wii, and I'm fairly certain MS is in the black with the 360.  Dropping a desperate price cut could help them, but it could also break them.  If I were a Sony exec I'd play it safe and try to stay the course.
