@TheSource: One comment:
You could just about justify a $100 PS3 price cut (2.5m * $100 less revenue, or $250m less revenue, on the 20m extra games sold at $60 ($1.2b) with Sony getting probably a quarter to a third of that as profit from either its own games or liscencing fees
What does the 2.5m number correspond to? Unless that hypothetical price cut comes very late, there will surely be time to sell much more than 2.5 million PS3s before the end of the fiscal year. If it happened before the holidays for example, they could easily sell 6 million or more PS3s in Nov-Mar (of which at least 4 million would be sold anyway), resulting in $400-$600m less revenue from hardware depending on how you want to calculate it.
