Next year the PS3 development cost wil drop so if MS has a price drop guess who will put their fire out before it even starts?.... That would be Sony. They will also follow up with their own price drop.

The problem is that MS is making money while Sony is losing it. Who do you think has more flexibility to drop the price under that situation?

FYI, any drops in manufacturing costs made by Sony can be matched by Microsoft. Sony doesn't hold the patent on reducing die size and shrinking processes. They may be able to slice a few more dollars off cost because of the BD drive (versus the already saturated production costs of DVD) but that won't make enough of a difference to matter.

Yeah I don't think people realize that Sony is in very deep financial problems, they don't even expect to be profitable as a company until 2013, and that's only if 3D tvs become a hit and PS3 becomes profitable, so Sony price cutting to match the 360 would be a bad idea for them

& to soleron:

bla bla bla

back to routine I see:

One side -- "ZOMG PS3 outsold xbox 360.....it will outsell it within a year"....check the numbers people

Other side -- "PS3 is a money looser, SONY WILL close if it doesn't make profit, SONY will close if they drop price again"

in fact a few users on here & I think NJ5 even made a thread earlier in this year saying "if SONY drop PS3 to $299 they may go bankrupt"

Well....we know how that turned out!

Face it Avinash, SONY isn't stupid, they aren't going to do anything that will make them bankrupt, people at SONY know whats going on inside more than YOU

If you think SONY will abandon the most powerful brand in videogames because of the PS3, you are mistaken


  If the guys at Sony are so smart, then how come they are losing to competitors in nearly every industry, and losing tons of money?

 

And they may go bankrupt as it looks, if they fail to achieve their goals on 3D tvs and online sales which looks very possible and have to engage in a price war with MS, we could be talking about how Sony went bankrupt in five years
