Analyst's Already Predicting ANOTHER PS3 Pricecut! And PS2 to $99

Where is the factory that manufactures people like you, and is their any way I can sabotage the reactor. Sorry I could not help myself. The thought just struck me, and I had to share.

No the PS3 is not profitable. While it is a common conception that the initial cost of the machine was eight hundred dollars. That reasoning is and was flawed. Thats the cost of the hardware in the machine perhaps. However that ignores all the secondary expenses. Things like manufacturing, transportation, storage, development, coding, advertising, and various other expenses. The costs do build up rather fast. Seriously its not like you toss all the bits into a wooden box shake and out pops a PS3.

Further more Sony doesn't walk into a electronics supply store every day. They order in advance, and they order in bulk. The parts in the machine you bought today were manufactured six months ago when the price was much higher. That is ignoring the fact that Sony obviously stockpiled components early on seeing as they felt demand would be stiff.

Even if you ignore my logic up till this point. Sony has yet to sell through all the machines they produced up until the end of April. So they are still taking the initial losses and they compounded them with price cuts. I think I shared this with you before, but for some reason you ignore it every time. There is no way Sony has made a dime off of the PS3.

Your blaming continuing losses on advertising. Congratulations you just blew my mind. I am going to have to clean the walls now. You can't be serious. What exactly do you think Sony is going to be spending on this godly add campaign. Wait don't tell me a subliminal mind control beam bounced off the stratosphere. I can feel it the implant in my head is vibrating.

Please for the love of all things gaming read the financial expectations of Sony themselves. Then realize that is their entire gaming division. Then realize that the PS2 is profitable, and I don't know. Can anything get through to you.
