Dude, that IS what the company is doing. They were more focused on the format war with the creation of the PS3. They might be focused on gaming now, but it's all m00t if the PS3 price is out of everyones reach.
Well then, you must know something I don't. Because with a $100 price cut, I don't see how they can improve the bottom line much. The software sales are still anemic, and that's where all the profit is supposed to come from. There was a thread on the Sony section of this forum about it and I am talking about the 80Gb which is $599 not the 60GB as we and I already know is costing Sony out the ass. It is the reason it has been discontinued.
i still have yet to find anything on them reducing it to break about even, i find them trying to but no cigar, and would removing emtion engine etc really reduce by 200 bucks? I will get you the source when I get home. I am at work at the moment and can't really spend hours searching for the source. I have it saved on my home computer. |
the blu-ray diode price drop cut costs $100 dropping the EE cut it another like $40, the 80GB PS3 only costs Sony $60 to make, the 60GB if it wasn't discontinued would have cost Sony maybe around $100. Its may not have been recuded by 200 to break even but switching to the 80GB model they surely have cut loses.
