For the bottom part it will be positve for sony in the long term, come march when they will ikely cutt he price by $50 it will be at $349.99 and the 80gb will be at $449.99(with motorstorm dropping to $39.99). 65% of PS3 sales this week came from the 40gb ps3, only about 33k of the ps3;s were the 80gb.

I think they lose about $100.00 per console. But gain it back with software.

 With the current attach rates as it is, there's no way they're making it back on software.

 Actually, looking at COD4 and Assassin's in the other thread and the PS3 attach rate on those games is higher than the 360 per unit.
