Nintendo needs to stop holding onto its cash and do something with it. It's great to know they aren't putting all of their chips on the line all of the time, but I can't imagine them ever needing the kind of cash they keep.
OT: I've become a bit warmer to this $400 PS3 theory. It didn't seem likely at first, but the mounting rumors are changing that. It's been the case before that Sony just can't keep a secret, and this could very well be one of those times. But barring that, Sony is in a pssition where they do need to do something.
We really don't know what it costs to make a PS3 since analysts base their estimates on the price of parts as they can be bought, not what it costs Sony to make them. Really, Sony is very likely taking a hit, but we can't judge how big it is.
Besides, awhile back someone at Sony (too drunk to check) said they'd have an aswer to the priedrop matter by November. The clearance sale was admited to not being a real price drop by Kaz, so there's still a question to answer. Maybe a cheaper model is that answer, we'll see.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
