I don't think people realize Sony is only losing 38 dollars per system... the money theyd save on shipping alone would make that up.

Are you saying it costs $40 to ship a PS3 as part of a bulk order? Not likely. Besides, there's no way Sony is losing that little.

Even if they were, though, and even if they did get to the point where they could make a profit at the current price point with the Slim, that is exactly what they would do. The point of the Slim is to make money, not to cut the price, because, just as sane people have been pointing out for months on end now, Sony cannot possibly afford to cut the price. Not even with a Slim. They'll save money on it, sure -that's the whole point- but they will not pass those savings onto consumers. They can't pass those savings onto consumers; they're too desperate for cash right now.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
