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. 

1. Google it, I'm sure its there somerhwere..

2. Dense? no but you may have something as "sacrasm" isnt something I am familiar with... (sarcasm?)

3. Sony are spending to accumulate... giving money away to consumers doesnt fall into that bracket... what the hell does the PS2 have to do with anything?  I see you are one of those sony fans still living in the past and in complete denial about the very perilous state that Sony finds itself in. 

What I am proposing would actually help Sony... reduced manufacturing costs but retain the retail price, or perhaps a slight price reduction, but why give money away when you are selling the most weekly anyway?

 

Now perhaps your can remove your fan glasses and comment with some sensible and non insulting views from a good business planning perspective.

1. Still looking...

2. It was the Auto correct. Get over it.

3. Because the more people who buy the system, buys games and downloads stuff online. And that's where most gaming companies make their cash from. Licensing fees and online revenue. Microsoft took a huge loss at the start of this gen just to get the 360 in people's living rooms to buy games and get on Live. If you don't know the industry too well, then it's best not to come in pretending to be an expert.

And what does it have to do with the PS2? That's the damn business model that's they've been following since the PS1 days and it's lead to millions of sales. That's how people knew it would eventually be a PS3 slim. 

Please don't tell me you're this clueless...
