i dont know what the software attach rate is for sony, but isn't software where most console manufacturers make their money?

if they're able to sell a bunch of consoles from a price drop, doesn't that in turn sell a bunch of games... and even BD movies?

how many games would it take for sony to recover $50?

 

Between 4 and 5 games to recover 50$.

 

 

It would be about five 3rd party titles and 2 first party titles. Actually, they'd net a small profit with two first party games and be breaking even on five 3rd party games. It could be more than five third party games if Sony cut the third party a break on the licensing fee like they were rumored to do with MGS4.
