@ Carl. If Sony project something like 15 million shipped for FY '11 then it means they have more than PS Move and GT5 in mind. 15 million means another price cut before Christmas I reckon. Another projection of 13 million means they are not looking for any substantial price movement, though I expect them to introduce Move bundled with a PS3 at the current 120Gig price, at least for Japan and USA.

Yeah, man. Wow. I really love you and your logic right now.
There is always a significant shortfall around the spring, summer months, so basically, they are pretty much looking at another fy2010, but with another 2m in there somewhere, which means that not only is the slim going to have to somehow maintain what it did upon "relaunch" but also attract another 2m, for a total of 4-5m extra. Maybe subtract 1m for the spring summer months yoy increase...what the hell are they going to show??
Gotta be a pricecut in there somewhere. Also, I'm starting to wonder about these recent stories talking about "PS3 slim is not an *official* slim", and I'm thinking that they've gotta be breaking even by now. ps3 slim costs were 336$ in september, not including royalties or packaging. It's gotta be something like 316$ right now, all inclusive. When the slim and price-drop hit, Sony was still losing about 20$ on each 40gig. So, Sony is not afraid to drop price when they still haven't gone hardware profitable. AARRGGGHH so much to think about now!
