| libellule said: whatever, finanacial problem behind Sony SCE, they need market share for the future of the PS3 to try to make some money one day or another. If I understand the problem of producing high price console and to sell it at a lower price that makes Sony lose a lot of money, I understand that if u want to sell games, u need a userbase ! And to be able to catch this user base, YES, Sony need a price cut, particularly in Europe where their price is quite elevated. Sony sold their 4M PS3 based on BR and brandname only ! Even if games are coming right now, their are not anymore alone in the console market : price cut is needed. (for me, a september price cut is a bit too quick, I think if they do it this year, they will do it at November, after the Microsoft momentum. |
If that's the case, Nintendo sold their 10M console on a wagle controller and brandname alone.
In trueth however, There are plenty of reasonably good games on the PS3 that are available right now. (and have been practically since launch).
@Shams -Woh. I didn't click the link and read that they where selling 34.5 per cent of its Financial Holdings company. That's insainly crazy.
Sony must be in WAY over their heads ATM. Being maxed out or heavy loaded with their loans, having to sell assets to fund other departments, Having Billions tied up in Unsold Products. Ouch.
Yes, I can tell you right now from this news a lot of investors are going to be quite unsettled. I thought Sony had plenty of reserve but to have to resort to this just shows how deep they really are.
It's me... no really, it IS me!!!
