Why I think Sony could drop 100 dollars on the PS3 and profit from it.

If i remember right did they not say in may/april they were still losing 20-30 bucks each ps3 sold? it was all over the boards 

im lazy so this is the best i could do

to go from that to major profit right now would seem odd 

Stringer also said after the Activision "threat" that if they dropped the PS3 price they would be losing money on each console sold. Gave the impression that they were possibly already profiting.

Then we also could think that the $20-30 lost per console was based on the current models costs. This new number could be based on Slim cost.

We don't know really but it is fun to try and pick it apart of hopefully in the end find out if we are right.

i understand main reason i brought up the PPC shrink issue was that. however if we are basing these on the next model they are fairly genourus in terms of what we think cost savings will be. unless they are striping more parts out i do expect it to be cheaper overall but not anything that could make a 100 dollar price cut profitable this year... maybe next spring... 

 

i feel it will be a slim and no price cut till next year to help bring in profit, but i could be wrong and i dont mind if i am. 

 

Well, then here is to hoping that you are wrong.

I just can't see Sony going into another holiday without a price cut. They will get slaughtered.
