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.

MS probably had/has revenues to make up for that from Windows, Zune, XBL, Bill Gates' sofa, etc.
