Also, Sony made a slight profit in their gaming department due to software sales, with even more great exclusives coming out this year, I think it will end up alright for Sony. They pretty much just have to stick things out. |
They made an insignificant profit over the holiday quarter ($4 million or something like that), which was smaller than the holiday quarter of 2007. Falling PS2/PSP sales don't help of course.
Things for a price cut:
- dropping manufacturing costs
- they need one
Things against a price cut:
- strong Yen
- state of the company as a whole (spending one more billion on price cuts is one more nail in the potential coffin)
- falling PS2/PSP sales (their cash cows)
All in all I think Sony has much more important things to worry about than a few measly points of market share, but let's see how it plays out.
