| Dodece said: We have to be mindful that Sony was already taking massive losses, and had to increase those losses more out of desperation then anything. They were probably incurring greater losses then they expected anyway. Survival takes first priority winning takes second. You want another good reason for Sony not to drop prices again. Microsoft will match them on any price cut, and that is no good for Sony. That just puts Microsoft in the consumer pleasure spot. The margin would not change in all likelihood. Microsoft would gladly match Sony if the drop were costing Sony even more money. Sony is not going to reduce prices, and if they do I think it is only good news for Nintendo and Microsoft. Once that happens they know they can bust Sony. Both would gladly follow a wounded Sony into the trenches. |
It does not matter if Ms match the price cut, it still only an xbox. At double the Price PS3 is matching 360 sales. The lower the PS3 price the much bigger the potentil customer base becomes, 360 does not matter all that matters is getting the price down lower so the PS3 becomes a potential purchaese for much much more people.
Last time they reduced price it doubles their sales, good enouth reason to do it agian.
PS3 is to important to Sony overall to just sit and wait, they need to take the losses now in order to succed in the future.
