I think that the pressure would have made them do a minor price cut in worst case scenario but instead sony decided to go all out. It is a bit early to have a slim version at this point. However Sony's ridiculous price and high tech can also help out in the future. The can still make the manufacturing cost cheaper, drop the price a lot more than competitors, and possibly have another revision 3 or 4 years down the road (provided they are keeping the ps3 around).
If Sony hadnt done anything then the would seriously fallen behind. I think part of Sony's strategy after last year was to go all out and try to retake its place
Yes I am a fan of the Playstation 3, but I am an even bigger fan of intelligent and rational dialog. (If you are up for an intelligent exchange of ideas, you are more than welcome to add me as a friend)
PLAYSTATION®3 is the future......NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E
