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.

But this proves that you are talking out of your ass so to speak, your making stuff up on the spot just to bag sony. If u have a look you'll notice that microsoft lost alot of money on the xbox.  Even with 360 it hasn't been exactly profitable, in fact they lose $126 US per console sold.

Just have a simple look up next time rather than try and state something as fact when its wrong.

Game. Set. Match.
