This means the 3 million userbase gained from the price cut will have to spend around $1 billion in software to compensate for the lost revenue from the hardware side. That's $333 of software per gained user, not counting retailer margins. |
Your numbers don't make sense. Do you realize you are insinuating that Sony is going to be losing $333 on every console sold at $299.99. So by your numbers, Sony is currently losing over $233 on every system sold.
I don't even think anyone is acutally dillusional enough to believe that.
