So you don't think dropping the price of a console you initially started selling at a loss, by 20-30% (depending on how and where you look) within less than one year isn't desperate measures in desperate times? You also don't think that going way over your projected, already huge, losses for the fiscal year in an effort to remain relevant is desperate?

Kudos for Sony, as it's somewhat working - in Japan, and in Europe at least - but at a huge cost. Fortunately the PS2 also helps. And fortunately the rest of the company is doing OK. But this still can't go on for much longer.


I wouldn't say it like that. It was very drastic and daring but desperate makes it seem like there aren't any other reasons to not purchase a PS3 because of price. I do think it helped but quality games could have done the same thing. Both of those mixed however, would be awesome.


 Floating $3 billion of your own stocks is a desperate move.  And this has nothing to do with no other reason for purchasing a PS3.  This has to do with the move Sony made to help increase sales.  You don't agree, first of all, that PS3's high price was affecting sales.  I do, and that's why many gave it off for lower sales.  There were obviously other reasons of buying a PS3, otherwise none would have been bought.  I'm wondering what logical thought process you put into this post.  

But the desperate move comes from Sony not just wanting to up sales but to compete with its competition.  If they don't do that then they won't be able to make a profit later on through software, ect.  Meaning they took extreme, or desperate measures, later this year to ensure that they would get a higher amount of sales then previously predicted, which seems to have worked.  What your trying to tell me is that isn't desperate?  If it wasn't desperate then why would they do it, almost ensuring that they would have more losses than previously thought.  You don't float $3 billion of your own stock, drop the price of a product that causes you more losses, unless you desperate need to.  If Sony was not in the posistion it was, then none of that would have never happened.

I think this is youre persona defense rising, as your offended that I'd call oh precious Sony's movement as desperate.  Let me put it to you this way kid.  If I had put it any other way then I'd have been bias by numbing it down.
