If the PS3 Slim is legit and releases at $299 - What will it do for sales?

of course they are losing money on the PS3... they have to be... the gaming div made a loss.... if its not the PS3 what is it?

 

Not only is the PS3 losing money still they must be losing a sh-t ton of money on it still, because the $260 millon loss means whatever profit they made from the PS2 and PSP was basically eaten alive by their PS3 losses and they ended up back on the negative side. 

It's quite likely this new PS3 slim design is aimed moreso at getting their internal costs down and increasing their profit margins, not at a massive $100 price cut.
