How long or how big an impact would a price cut have? Some make it seem like doing these two things will bring PS3 roaring back, where I see it as a short term shot in the arm, after the price cut fails to really stimulate PS3 sales..then what?

A price cut and/or a slim model would be like putting a band-aid on a shotgun wound. The PS3 was essentially the suicide of Sony's gaming division.

 

So, yes, dead console walking.

No not really, even looking at the recent gamefaqs poll close to 66% of people either owned or wanted a PS3. Most people are holding out for a price cut , more sales = better for console as a whole.

The ps3 is not a dead console walking, as despites its price point it has already overtaken 1 of the 3's last gen consoles in sales (gamecube ) & in the next few months will surpass another (xbox), now nintendo obviously didn't die after the gamecube so why say sony would?.

 

Because neither Nintendo nor MS lost money on their last gen consoles, and neither got financially gutted the way Sony has the last quarter.

Incorrect , The xbox lost microsoft 4 billion.
