And, when Sony's new BD players come out...the $499 one....it will push them to the top and convince Microsoft to end this, because microsoft has to be losing money on something that they have no possible chance of winning unless a nuclear bomb or asteroid hits sony headquarters. |
1. In this case, the Ps3 does come it. Selling the hardware at a loss is a common practice. Software makes up for it in the long run (unless you screw it up like with the Xbox).
2. $500 is still greater than $300-$400, so that won't convince anyone they are about to lose.
3. Microsoft just supports HD-DVD. Toshiba has most of the investment. Yet they aren't losing any more money than Sony is in terms of HD films.
In short, I hope you were being sarcastic, because that argument fails to prove what will happen on way or the other.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
