By the way, given Sony's reputation, their investment, the rate they were hemorrhaging red ink and the dismal sales compared to their expectations to jump right in to PS2's shoes; life support is a fairly generous description. A harsh one would be DOA, which did appear in the trade papers.
When you're bragging that disappointing sales are a good thing because you lost less money than you expected - you're in serious trouble. When you still have to recover monstrous development costs and the huge deficit in addition to all the normal costs of doing business and you are forced to keep cutting prices until the profit margin is razor thin, if at all and you're heading into economic hard times ..... the patient is not out of the woods yet.
So let's not pretend that everything is going according to some Sony master plan. They had a disastrous start and haven't made up for it yet. The good news is Microsoft isn't that much better off with what RRD cost them and declining sales and growth. The bad news is their other competitor is Nintendo.
