Assuming the PS3 from now on will outsell the 360, by 50 000 consoles weekly. It will take 140 weeks for the PS3 to catch up to the 360. Pigs fly lol. I hope 360 drops their price again that could maintain or even widen the gap over PS3.

 To reiterate what I have said in past threads, if price is all that mattered going forward, MS is in big trouble. Sony is MUCH better at reducing costs, as they are a consumer electronics company, and not a software company.

I think the winner will come down to who has the best games coming out for it and not price, and you MS fans better hope I am right, because if it's price, MS has no chance over the next few years.

 

MS doesn't have to be better or more efficient at reducing price when they have substantially more assets to throw at the problem than Sony does. We may try to kid ourselves that Sony is okay now that it is making a modest profit in its gaming division but after losing all they had earned with the PS2 and then some they're doing everything they can to just keep their head above the water. I'm sure if Sony wanted to they could cut the price to $200 and still survive by the skin of their teeth, however, MS could easily do the same at an even greater loss and still come out shining.

Sony may be better at cutting cost, but MS has the money to do the very same without even a second thought.

Remember, MS doesn't have to come in 1st or 2nd this generation to achieve their objective of crippling Sony's market expansion.

I would like to start off by saying I own all 3 systems and enjoy all for different reasons. Now with that out of the way why do some people think Sony has small pockets? Microsoft last Fiscal report showed profit company wise of 4.6 Billion and Sony 1.8 Billion now these are profit numbers. So you don't think sony can afford to lower prices as much if not more then Microsoft when it is actually waging war on 2 fronts with one machine. It is in Sony's best interest for a BR player and Game machine to lower prices as fast as possible to try to saturate the market with the PS3. Why do you think they were initially fine with losing $240 per console? Also MS's crippling of a systems marketshare that is just nonsense. As shown by nintendo it doesn't matter what place you finish for a few generations you come out with a better piece of hardware that people like they will buy it not because of your previous console but due to the current one.
