Anyone know how many PS3's ( in hardware sales ) it will take to come out of the red at the current price?

Adding an additional $100 for nearly $300 loss per console seems too hefty if you ask me. At this rate, Sony can't see any profit per system until five games are bought.

To make things worse, a dev. company can't turn a profit on a game unless it sells 500,000 units*. Thus many developers have been discussing rather limited titles to be launched on PS3.

This price drop would have to usher in a whole lot of sales, ( which I think is doubtful ), for game developers to even consider being more loyal and agressive with publishing PS3 games exclusively.
