Wii sales hammer PS3 in Japan

[Bodhesatva]

Please, stop saying that the Playstation 3 should have been 300 dollars. No one is realistically arguing that such a price drop wouldn't make a dramatic change in sales: it's just economically feasible.

Using the example I listed in the post above: the PS3 would probably dominate if it were 300 dollars. It would also force Sony to go out of business. They are already posting a 650 Million Dollar loss: the price drop would increase that to almost 2 billion dollars. Sony is a big company, but that simply is.not.sustainable. No company in the world allows 2 billion dollar losses in the hopes that some day they might -- might -- recoup that and more.
