Honestly what was Sony thinking

I don't get it: Why are people arguing that the financial crisis is something that's effecting every video game maker? It's not. Microsoft and Nintendo both have robust YoY growths. The PS3 certainly does not.

Although you can't argue that Sony couldn't help the recession, they certainly have not made their system viable in such a climate by making it so prohibitively expensive.

I can't speak for others, but my point was that the crisis hampers Sony as a whole, including the gaming division. If it wasn't for the crisis and dollar/euro impact, they could cut prices earlier, and they wouldn't have to restructure the gaming division.
