What's that?  brand new system costs as much as bundles of systems that have been out for years?

And you are surprised? When the ps3 launched, the base price of the device was $500-600. And that was back years ago. Inflation would put that at $600-700 now days.

New devices = no fancy bundles in order to get as much boost profit as possible off people like me that are early buyers that don't need the big fat incentives. 

yeah and we saw how well that did, kinda making his point for him

So? They sold their device at a profitable amount while they could, then they lowered it. People may view that as a failure on Sony's part early on, but they probably viewed it as pure profit at the time. Otherwise, they may have had to take a loss in their first 6 months of that device being on the market, which would have been bad for the shareholders. Same thing with Nintendo on the 3ds, you sell high until your hardcore fans have bought it, then you lower it so the casuals will jump on board. It's just business.
