yeah! lets kill the ps3 right when it starts bringing money so that way we'll have no chance in making the money back! AWESOME! (BTW Sonys president or what have you said they are only losing 10% on each ps3. therefor there must be something else sucking up money... hm lets logically think about this what has been in the news the last year and hurts businesses... the economy? no that couldnt possibly be the reason)

Probably a combination of:

Currency conversions

Economy

Sony Electronics have decreased in perceived value due to economy (same TV as others for $400 more = no Sony purchase)

PS3 selling at a loss

R&D

I agree but only one of those falls on the ps3.

No, all or most of them cause it. It's simple logic.

The green historian will claim WW1 started due to the assaination of archduke Ferdinan. The experienced one will say the war started from rivalies steaming from colonialism and power struggle as well as secret treadies coming out of the rivalries.

Case in point: One answer is never the right answer.

And the rigidities of the rail timetables for war which forced Germany into action.

Wasn't that during the war?

Its like the industrial version of MAD with the side who launches first potentially coming out as a winner. History isn't my strong point and this is very OT.
