So you think their costs in the US declined by $1.3 billion?

in an entire year? Its not out of the realm of possibility.

What kind of response is that??? Be aware that this is only talking about the United States. So I am guessing that Sony has lost more than $2 Billion in revenue worldwide. If you believe that releasing a ps3 slim would reduce costs to that degree(also remember the R&D costs for the slim,psp go,wand) then all hope is lost.

Again... R&D would be spread out through the years... its not like its going to hit them all at once. Ps3 slim R&D was probablly finished with by the 2nd quarter... Everything points in the direction of Cost lowered > Price lowered in ps3 price drop.
