"My guess is that they will cut April 1, which is the day after the end of the fiscal year," Pachter said. "To cut $50 after Christmas doesn't do that much for you. Potentially, Sony could sell 3 million more units at a $50 incremental loss each. That's a $150 million loss, which is hard to reconcile with the job cuts the company has announced."

 

If each new PS3 owner buys an extra controller and 2-3 games, Sony breaks even.  Software sales are where the money is at.  They need to sell more hardware to increase software sales.
