Some of us said it last year, that the yen exchange ratio, and Sony financial numbers weren't against this decision. Now the numbers show that we were right, and the lower selling price wasn't a great decision.

You can read lots of Sony fans that want another price cut for this late summer/autumn. Sometimes I just think that some Sony fans are destroying Sony, pushing for more and more price cuts, better and costlier consoles... and they don't think in the monetary implications. It's like politics, most people want more spending, or the same spending with lower taxes, without thinking that's the way huge debts are created.

A quick math: 50 US$ and ~14 million consoles give you 700 million US$ less since the price cut. Sony would love to have that money in their pockets.
