Except that would be a quick fix for Sony. Sony might not be able to afford it right now but it's the only thing that would jump their sales back up to competitive levels.

Have you paid attention to the news lately? Sony has a city's worth of employess (180,000 exactly) and they're losing their jobs one after the other. Thats a ton of unemployed people. The last time I checked, the ps3 was still a loss-leading product. You expect sony to sell it at an even greater loss so the company can collapse? Don't you realize that if the ps3 sales suddenly broke out that'd mean even more and greater losses for a company in a crisis right now.
You might mention the long term but in reality, sony needs help RIGHT NOW. A move like that would be suicidal. Besides, ps3 has more expensive hardware packed in period. It's just unrealistic to expect it to be sold at the same price point as the 360 or wii. If consumers don't like it, then it was a bad decision from the start and this gen is lost but there's always next time. Trying to salvage a losing battle by comitting suicide is the epitome of EPIC FAILURE!
