| DMeisterJ said: Yeah, but Sony *has* to move software to become profitable, and that'll only happen if they sell more, and they'll only sell more if they have more consoles out on the market. They need to get PS3s out there, no matter the loss, so they can make it back in software. I wouldn't care if they were selling it at a 200 dollar loss, as long as they were having a solid attac rate, it'd all be cool. |
But you have to remember that Sony only makes $20 TOPS per game sold, more for First party (though my original estimate could be too high). So unless your talking about an attach rate of 15 games per console (some games will be budget or discounted, and you need to make enough to PROFIT not just break even) then a $200 loss is far too big to sustain for long.
As for the bolded part I totally agree, its a vicious cycle.
