Now, from my perspective the only way Sony could break even or profit from a price reduction is if the total loss per new system was less than $100 ... Which means if Sony can get a 50% boost in sales off of a $50 price reduction and the system costs less than $350 to manufacture it would make sense for them to reduce the price of the system.
