"Our plan is not to reduce the price."

Well it doesn't get anymore clear-cut than that, especially when it's said to investors and not the media.

I don't think they really need one, but they are forfeiting any chance to beat MS in NA (if that was ever possible at all).

Exactly.  This is not a media ploy.  Lying to your investors will get you fired.  And sued.  They can't afford it.  Remember that this last sales spike surrounding Metal Gear Solid 4 made Sony LOSE EVEN MORE MONEY!!!  Remmeber they are LOSING money every time they sell a console.  They hope to make it back in the long term by selling games and accessories and downloads, but in the short term, that cost them millions.

To just shrug and say they should drop proces to "win" a numbers battle in one market is naive and juvenile.  Sony is in busines to MAKE MONEY, not to have the percentage by their name on vgchartz be higher than Microsoft's.  If they dropped price before they get the cost of these things down and before they have software sales really clicking, then they are sealing their economic fate.

 

 

Just give it up, they won't listen no matter what logic you will bring in here.
