What it does say is this: "Lower prices will allow Sony to target potential buyers of Microsoft's $479 Xbox 360 Elite model to increase sales and narrow losses at the PlayStation unit, analysts said" |
Uh, Shams, if you read near the end of the article you'll see this:
"Sony can cut prices because the company has fixed production problems with a diode used in the PlayStation 3's Blu-ray disk player, said Tretton, who is based in Foster City, California. He declined to discuss costs for the console.
Clearing up the trouble made PlayStation 3 profitable several months ago, giving the company room to cut prices, analyst Doherty said. Microsoft still loses money on each Xbox 360 it sells, he said."
