Jeez, what are they trying to do, give the console lead to Sony?

Even if the PS3 passes the 360, the "console lead" belongs to the Wii. Second, we don't know what Microsoft is planning (outside of this bundle). 

Regardless, I'm sure neither of them wants the legendary 3rd place.

1. Of course they can afford it and are making healthy profits on hardware

2." The legendary 3rd place"? do you just make that up?  I dont recall such a legend.

3. If Sony release their new slimmer slim at a much reduced price then they are dummer than even I thought they were.... Why bother with a new cheaper iteration if all you do is pass that on to the consumer?  In normal circumstance perhaps you can argue this is a good move but in Sony's current state thats idiotic.

1. I'm still looking for concrete numbers on that.

2. It was a bit of sacrasm, surely you aren't that dense.

3. Idiodic? Despite the fact that Sony has a half a billion to spend on GaiKai, and the 3 revised slims plan worked out well on the PS2 and a lower price point will lead to greater sales?

Yeah, I think most companies aim to be "idiodic" like that.
