right now they sell few ps3's at a loss of 80 bucks. Assuming they have already made their money back on previous ps3's sold sony can use the money from costumers with their already paid off ps3's and the new ones to get back the loss they got, this easily translates into profits. But, if they were to put out a 300 dollar one at a loss of 180 they will have a larger volume of ps3's sold and a large amount of losses. This loss would be too large to be put off by game sales by people with paid off PS3's. Therefore, sony would have to rely solely on the consumers with the new ps3s. These consumers would be more casual gamers becuase otherwise they would have bought a PS3 earlier and, becuase of this, would buy less games and sony would have a much harder time recouping the losses if they recouped them at all.

Consoles owned: Game Cube, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, PSP, PS1, PS2, PS3.
My prediction: NATAL WILL NOT help 360 sales. Maybe a 50-100k boost week 1, then a 30-70 k boost week 2, and back to the norm again after 3-5 weeks.
