Sony were bleeding last quarter and the PS3 wasn't so much...I'm probably wrong about that but I don't see Sony retreating when a lot of their big investments are coming up over the next year. I don't really think there will be a price cut on the PS3 per say, but there are certain things for the PS3 that would make it seem worth the money. The most common complaint that I get from people about PS3's is their lack of backwards compatibility now. If they can get rid of that issue, then the system will sell better (note I said better. not up to 360/Wii sales. Sony have said already that the console war is not their focus, their focus is to turn a profit this year). More systems sell, the more games sell. The games seem to be where Sony gets their profit from on the PS3. |
Well, gaming department(whatever it is called) was profitable, but thats PS3+PS2+PSP. And it was just barely profitable. Unless Sony gets near zero money from PSP and PS2 or the PS3 was still bleeding badly. Question is how deep they can go? If they are going to get nothing, but losses from the PS3 and if its dragging them way too deep retreat is an option. However both are very unlikely to happen price cut or retreat. Price cut would mean more losses and I don't think they can handle more losses.
