Sony are breaking even on the 120GB slim, and making profit with software and on the PSP, PSPGO & Playstation 2 + all there software
and the introduction of the 250GB Slim which they make money on

Microsoft talking out there ass again i see lol

No they aren't

Slim hardware is losing money

      I think that will be offset by the 250 gig model.  Can you imagine how well PS3 would be selling if they bring the 120 down to $250 when the 250 gig comes out?

Another PS3 price cut, lol


      I don't think it would be that funny for the other consoles.  It would put PS3 back within $50.00 of Wii, the price difference that existed before Nintendo saw how successful the PS3 was at being at $299 and caused Nintendo to have to lower the Wii's price in response, so they would have to lower the Wii's price by another $50.00 and that would mess up the pricing strategy they have for their handhelds, and the 360 has shown that even with a $199 Arcade and a $299 Elite they can't beat the PS3 worldwide, so if Sony brought the PS3 down to $250 and had even stronger sales, Microsoft would have to lower their prices even more to keep up.

     Is it really a win for Microsoft if at the end they have to bring the Arcade down to $100 to guarantee a win?  I don't think that would look too good to their investors.

 

 

Nintendo didn't lower their price in response to the PS3 slim, they lowered it in response to slowing sales and the concern that they wouldn't hit their targets, that was well before the PS3 slim was announced, in fact slim sales didn't affect the Wii at all, Wii kept selling around 180-190K a week


     While the PS3 was selling about 100,000 more a week and had sold over 200,000 more.  They knew from their experience being outsold by the PS3 at its old price 3 months in a row earlier this year in Japan that the Wii can't tangle with the PS3 with only a $50.00 price difference.
