Profit > Sales
Yeah but Sales = longterm profit. So it gets harder again. They may have a strong desire to be profitable now but dominating the last generation gave them the ability to launch a completely new handheld system without loosing money in the progress. They will not to this trick this generation but a price at 300 would do a world of a difference.
Much depends on how expensive manufacturing the PS3 really is. You can get an Nvidia 7800GTX (which is more powerful than the RSX and has more RAM) for 89$ at retail now. At launch wholesale price for Sony was 129$. This christmas everything will be cheaper still.
The nice thing is that we will see who is right in 6 months.
