Maybe he is taking up Crazzyman's slack? I don't know how else to explain it.

With all the negativity, I thought I might just as well share some more balanced perspectives. As I said, I consider it a possibility for the given reasons.

Important will be a cheaper slimline PS3, so that Sony can finally start to push the platform they way it deserves. For instance selling at Wii levels early on Sony could never have afforded, so until they are near the break even point on the hardware it will be a balancing act for Sony.

So the PS3 doubling its userbase (built in 2+ years) during a recession year is a balanced perspective?

By the way, your "Sony couldn't have afforded" argument doesn't work. They could have afforded it if the PS3 sold OK at 500-600 € as Sony was expecting.
