Why a PS3 Price Cut WON'T CHANGE a thing (anti-Propoganda or bitter truth)?

It would help in a very bad way for Sony in terms of finances. The extra few million PS3 consoles would generate an extra 1.5 billion dollars in losses  on PS3 hardware alone if Sony sold PS3 at  an additional $100 loss.

Expected year sales if PS3 price cut was reduced by $100 generating $100 loss on PS3 assuming they are at breakeven position on PS3 consoles sold.
15 million consoles sold at $100 loss = 1.5 billion dollars in PS3 hardware sales.
Or sell 10 to 11 million PS3 consoles in the same period (one year) at break even and make no losses on hardware for the year.

It would take Sony a year or two to reduce costs to be able to get to a break even or profit making position on PS3 consoles loss.

It is better to cut or minimise your losses than try and build a huge hole that you may never recover from. Sony is losing money not just in its game division but all other business areas at the moment and to make an extra billion dollars or 1.5 billion loss just on PS3 console would be finacial ruin for the company. A lot of other companies are making losses in the world due to the Doomsday state of affairs of the world economy which has never been this and is ven doig worse than the Great Depression according to some analysts.

Shareholders are not happy with Sony at the moment due to falling share prices and no dividend payouts. Sony corporate fat cats still get their bonuses just like all the other huge corporations even in bad times or the company is stuffed up by the ones in charge of running the company. No dividends are paid to shareholders if losses are made in that finacial period.

It is important for a company not to upset investors. Shareholder backlash can result in the company losing more money and the share price continues to fall. Share price is directly related to value of the company and its profits are critical for the company. Losses for a company are always bad for the company.
