I thought it was the other way around. 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) was profitable, but thats PS3+PS2+PSP. And it was just barely profitable. Unless Sony gets near zero money from PSP(& its games) and PS2(& its games) or PS3 was still bleeding badly. Question is how deep they can go? If they are going to get nothing, but losses from 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.

and why do you assume that they did not  spend money last quarter for any R&D for PS3 slim,some 3rd party exclusives for future,some funding of 1st party studios for more games?

 

why do you assume they have 4 million left after selling PS2.PSP,PS3 +games and haven't invested on anything else?

 

maybe they earned 100 million and spen 90 million on funding 3 new games to come out in 2010.

 

We don't know anything.So it's better to leave it to them to decide what they want to do.
