rocketpig said: My point is that it would be a monumental mistake for a company that is losing money on a product (Sony) to attempt to get into a price war with two companies who not only offer a cheaper product, but also make money at their current price points (MS and Nintendo). If MS and Nintendo want to play hardball in a price war, they have a lot more leeway to do so than does Sony. |
But this isn't a company that has to rely solely on their gaming division, which is also true for Microsoft but the same really can't be said about Nintendo. Like I said, Microsoft continuously lost money on the Xbox, and even now, though they are getting a profit for each console sold, it isn't even remotely close to wipe their slate clean.
So Sony will lose more money if they lower the price for the PS3, boo-hoo. If it will work, it will work, and if not, who cares, that's a multi-billion dollar company, I think they will manage.
