PS3 falling bad?

[Dodece]

So much bullshit in this thread I need to wear wading boots. Microsoft is not beating Sony on price alone. For price to have a significant impact your product must first have appeal. Microsoft made this happen by having a top notch games library, and offering more compelling services. Besides I really do not take many of these price hawks seriously, because they were the same people that said the price cuts would have little or no impact. The logic for them only applies when it serves their purposes.

To answer the question Sony has been in free fall with the PS3 since it debuted. That alone would seem to indicate something bad. The console has never been profitable. They are probably just at breaking even on the software, and if sales continue to persist they probably cannot reach their production goals, or at least do it and sell them to retailers. With all this bleeding the PS3 has never left the maligned third place, and doesn't look as if it will ever even have a serious chance.

Add on to that the other two have serious financial resources that all but ensure that they can match or exceed any move that Sony makes, and none of the moves they can make will offer any hope of financial success. The PS3 falling absolutely its the consoles natural state. Money falling into a black pit. Falling farther behind in console sales. Falling from a position of dominance. This is not a new development that is what is laughable. It is not getting bad it has always been bad.

For those talking about price cuts. I am moving more towards the fence on this. While it is true another price cut will probably bleed them for an additional two billion dollars in losses. Just toss that up on the six billion already lost. I really think Sony can be this insane, or more to the point unwilling to accept that the only way to begin to salvage the situation is to accept their market position. Regardless if they do offer a price cut I will think of it more as a loss then a victory. For the simple reason that they will have done what Microsoft and Nintendo want them to do. Which is find a way to lose even more money in a recession.
