21 percent of people who don't own a PS3 are planning on buying one? But...but...but that would be 1.2 billion people!

That sounds right. PS3 is huge!!!!!!!11

The funny thing is that it would make Sony go bankrupt. :)

The funny thing is how someone could state something like that. Sony is huge. If they lose money it is because they can afford it. Short term gains are nothing to these powerful companies. They are thinking about the future, not about gaining money tomorrow morning.Read Peter M. Senge - The Fifth Discipline. Sony, like Microsoft and Nintendo are learning organizations. Think only about short term profits and you are doomed.

I think he was referring to the fact that every Slim sold is still resulting in a loss. Let's say it's $25 per console so 1.2 billion X $25 = $30 billion loss. Can Sony absorb that? I read "Basic Math 101" by any random mathmatician for that info.
