I am curious how Sony survives if it increases the amount of money it loses per sale of each PS3 by cutting prices, and STILL not beating the Wii. The Wii is the system with all the buzz now, because it sells the most. The PS3 is third. The idea of cutting prices and selling at a loss is to get an installed base in place so that you can then dominate in software sales, because you become the lead console, and thus the system of choice for developers and buyers. Of course, some will end up saying, "But the Wii isn't competing against the PS3!" Well, what entertainment dollars IS it competing for if not the same dollars as the Wii.

I am also curious how exactly making the PS3 cost less for consumers, but not less than the 360, is going to drive people to not buy the 360 over it.

Now excuse me a minute as I play Dark Athena on my 360, and then go off to play some inFAMOUS.
