I guess I'm not understanding well. Speculation is that the PS3 is nearing the breakeven point where they will no longer be taking a bath on each one sold. That means they can get into the black on the unit... Stating that the price reduction will allow them to now cut the price just puts them right back where they are now... If they do cut in the spring by $100, they will be back to losing at least $100 per console. If they plan on selling 10 -15 million units through 2009 (which would most certainly happen at $299!), write off another $1 to $1.5 billion. Does anyone really believe Sony would do that?
