Absolute Primary School Bullshit. The more PS3s Sony produce - the more production costs are lowered as methods are made more affective. Also, the more PS3s sold - the more software is sold (software can make the PS3 profitable for Sony).

So really, the truth is the opposite of what you just said. 

If that's the case Sony should produce 10 million + PS3's every quarter, they'd have more than enough for 2010 and another 20m stockpiled for 2011 and still make money, they could essentially drop production for all of 2011 and make even more profits.

No dude no, there's no shortage of PS3's, there's a shortage of 120GB PS3's, the 250GB model is plentiful, the cheapest model, same thing happened at launch with the $499 model, there were hardly any of them. Though the situation isn't as bad as back then (sub 100K sales in the US per month) it's obviously enough to keep stop Sony taking second this month and if they're playing up the shortage it will probably continue for a couple more months.

You have no clue about business. Sony need to produce as many PS3 units as they can sell. If they made 10M PS3s every quarter, who would buy them all? Then sony would have to store all these excess PS3s - and storage costs money. Be serious please.
