Xbox360 had a slim and Kinect... your turn

PS3 could have another slim and a $100 pricecut. Your turn again, sir.


From last reports isnt sony bleeding enough money from this console, another 100 price cut wouldnt be a smart move. Slim would be rather early and would seem a rather knee jerk reaction, you again :)

Too bad they announced they're not losing money on PS3 for a while now...

You can sell a console at higher than manufacturing cost but lose money. You know, you have to pay a lot more things than only the cost of the hardware... There is a big difference between gross profit and operating profit.


So with the bigger picture involved, is Sony loosing money on the PS3?

No.

@Kynes thanks for reminding me that but my studies are all about Business so I'm not clueless about that. At least I think... When Sony says PS3 costs XXX$ to produce it's an average price that counts packaging, electricity, shipments etc things in it, so when they say they don't lose money, they really don't lose money...

The only thing left bleeding the company is the PSN and maybe the video games division, which if I remember is often in red. (I dunno, their games sell well but... something is eating the money there).


That's what I figured.
