Wow, why don't you tell us what you really think.

Such opinionated hostility.

Damaging a Brand? Get over yourself.

The only temporary damage that has been done is releasing something too expensive for most cheap americans to afford.

People like cheap things because they are cheap. (and for a business to go against this would be crazy, right?)

Wrong.

Sony is Sony, and they will not learn their lesson, because they want to offer the best piece of technology available. Their image, is more solidified than ever. (in that regard, not financially)

Their products have always been more expensive, and now with the PS3, their gaming devision has joined the same line of thought.

They respect the idea of quality over price.

But realize that the same reprocusions do not apply to sony as much as they do to other companies. Because they are sony, they can justify crazy technological advances that cost them money, but adversely give them the advantage of always being the first to the market with a new technology- like the cell.

 

Regarding OP, I expect a 250 million loss, but lets hope it is a billion, right??

A shareholder of sony stock is somewhat of a maverick of a person i believe. They have the faith that eventually people will recognize quality over price in the long run.

And that is exactly what Sony is in this race for, the long run.


*thunderous applause from the Sony marketing department*


 I just like that he calls Americans cheap.  America is like the king of  cconspicuous consumption.  I believe Americans actually spend more money then they earn on average.

America is the exact opposite of cheap.  America just doesn't see the quality in the PS3.  Is america right or wrong? Who knows.  It's got nothing to do with them being cheap though.
