Sony might come back? I can't shake the feeling

I know so many PS3 fans say this but a big price cut, GT 5, FF13 in Japan, GOW 3 etc, could result in a comeback of sorts.

With the losses Sony faces for this past year, though, it is debatable whether they can still afford a price cut any time soon (which I would define as the next 9 months).

 

 

Any simple minded person would think that, tis' the reason why 99% of people on this forum would run a business to the ground in days. Big businesses have to think out the box, it is the reason why they end up having thousands of people working for them. $100 price cut brings more PS3's into homes thus more software sales, people forget that console companies make most of their money from software sales. ;)

 

 I work in corporate America and let me be the first to tell you that you're giving the suits way too much credit.

Usually this "thinking outside the box" results in unethical, illogical and/or irresponsible business decisions. For example, Enron, 360 RROD, Sony's misguided management/strategic postion in the market, and the most recent offense, the global economic collapse as a result of decisions made by the world's financial institutions, especially in the US.

Usually, good business decisions are common sense, but some companies are good at thinking outside of the box...Apple, Google, Nintendo, and a few others...Sony is not one of those companies.

Sony has made a host of bad decisions/PR blunders with regards to the PS3...I am pretty sure Sony doesn't want to add -enterng a price war with Microsoft and Nintendo- to the list.
