can they?

Technically this would be a $100 price drop, right?
Man, I still can't believe it, it seems seriously hardball this late in the game. I understand the concern of the upcoming Wii U $100 price cut, but a $50 price cut to $150 compared to Wii U's $250 would still put Nintendo on the ropes.
I was expecting the PS3 Slim Slim to finally get that $50 price cut to $200, but at this rate I suppose they'll have to follow suit with $100 off just to keep up with the new 360.
It just seems strange, like they're trying to destroy their own next gen launches. $50 would've been enough for both as far as luring away potential Wii U buyers without harming their own launches too much.

they cant afford it... actually... thats never stopped them before.

If Microsoft can afford a $100 drop to $99, I can't imagine the PS3 can't afford a $100 drop to $150.
What they can't do is match a $99 price tag, but they've never attempted to match the 360 price, always just a little over.
It just seems strange for both of them, though. They're still selling gangbusters at practically pure profit. After this drop, they wouldn't be making much I dont' think.

WHAT!?
lol
where have you been for the last 5 years?
Your final sentence answers your first sentence. Who needs their console to profit most? and who has a paid for online service?

I don't know, you tell me. The 360 has paid off it's own debt unlike the PS3, but is now working on paying off the 2.4 billion accrued from the first Xbox. Do you know specific numbers for both? I bet they're both around a billion total debt for division overall.
Good chart btw, consider that 2001 and 2002 had even bigger losses to 2003.
