Yes, just started.  They didn't start making profit till the 3rd quarter of last year.  You are aware that the PS3 is currently the biggest loss of revenue at launch of any system correct?  Even more than the original Xbox was to MS.

Given the fact Sony themselves JUST said last week its more important for them to focus on revenue than outselling MS I think its pretty obvious there will be no price cut.  They are still so far negative in terms of re-couping PS3's losses it just financially would be a huge mistake to cut price.

Sorry to hop into your discussion but I have been wondering this for a while.

Why does everyone just point out that that PS3 has these major losses even though the reason for that is due to Bluray?

How much of that revenue loss has been made up due to increase BluRay penetration?

What?

Bluray had nothing to do with PS3 losses at all other than being part of the reason why it was so expensive along with the Cell.  The two division don't overlap at all so increased Bluray sales won't cover losses in the Playstation division, they're handled seperate.

Not to mention PSN has been posting losses every single year, and they say this year will be the first it does ever post a profit.  MS and Nintendo have both not cut price in 2 years and both systems sell at a profit and have for a long time now.  The PS3 JUST started selling for a profit and already has had more price cut's than the other two systems.  Now finally when they start earning their money back they are gonna cut price and lose all that revenue?  It just makes no financial sense at all and I don't see why people think Sony are gonna run around and cut price every single year.
