How will the PS3 do in 2008 when its "big guns" (GT5, MGS, etc.) come out?

Duh?!?! its a no brainer 2008 will be better than 07.. you have at least 3 confirmed system sellers coming out for it in 08.. plust sony finally doesnt have a 600 dollar console on the market.. and im convinced they will drop the price with the lauch of mgs4 down to 350 and 450 respectively

Personally, I believe that expecting further price reductions on the PS3 in 2007 or 2008 is unrealistic. Sony has said that they're losing money on the 40GB model, and it has been suggested that Sony may be losing as much (or more) on the 40GB model as they were on the 60GB PS3 at launch; I would expect Sony to reduce the cost on the PS3 so that it was profitable (or at least only has a minimal loss) before they reduce the price again.

well they said they dont expect to obtain profatability til late 2008 going into 2009..  they also said in their next report losses might double for their game division which leads me to  believe they might cut prices just a lil more.. or you could be right they probably are losing out on the spiderman 3 bundled system.. but the fact that they left the 80 and 40 gb bunlded are the reasons i think they might cut prices..
