Come on...
A lot of people here say "MS wont let Sony overtake them". But then they just think Sony will let all this momentum slip away? Seriously? With the lineup and pricing options they still have?
As for willing to lose money to do so. When was the last time Sony made a yearly profit on the gaming division? |
I know, but Sony's current plan, according to them, is profitability. Microsoft is dead set on beating Sony, no matter what it takes. I can see them pulling every trick in the book to stay ahead. If Sony pulls out a victory over them though, it will make it ever sweeter for them, as Microsoft wouldn't even have beaten them with a year head start and a cheaper price. I just don't see that being the final outcome though.

Profitability, which they expect to have by next year. If they do get it next year, it opens up a whole new bunch of pricing strategies they can use. A $50 cut towards the end of the year wont harm them too much, if at all...

True.

All I'll say is that I see Sony shifting focus to America now. With GT5 coming out, and some good advertisement, PS3's will sell themselves in Others. As for America, I can see 2010 being the year Sony tries to penetrate the American market again, after being demolished by MS. Will they succeed? Who knows? But I personally think the most they can do in America is reduce the gap to about 6 - 5 million consoles, instead of the 8.8mil gap existing right now.
