| SlorgNet said: Price drop: a dead certainty, expect another $100 price drop by late 2008. Sony has cost reduced the heck out of the PS3, so right now they're close to breakeven on manufacturing costs (though not advertising and sales costs). |
With that statement, you're going directly against what Sony has stated in their financial reports (which, by law, must contain accurate information). They have repeatedly said that they're losing a lot of money on the games division due to the strategic pricing of PS3 hardware below production cost. They also said that they don't expect profitability on hardware until 2009 in the best case.
Unless you have a really good source for what you're saying, I'm going by this explanation, which is the one which makes the most sense considering their massive losses in the past few quarters. They'll release a new financial report during January, which might give us some more information (or a repeat of the same information).
