No, it is you providing all the laughs in this thread with stupid statements like that.

a few more job losses and a threat of depression could make a dent in everyones gaming habits lets hope that doest happen. lets see a video game or food for the wife and kids????? You guys need to go on a diet.

the editorial of MS cuts are so blistering towards MS and the Nintendo bias is sick thats why I guess you are not getting paid to bring these things up as a point of knowledge.

Its your mission to get MS or Sony good job.

i think m$ price cut were too risky, if they don't pay up, considering the market is going to hell its a huge blow too.

So you're basically saying that when times are tough it's not good for a company to make it's products more affordable?  Hmm, something about that doesn't seem right to me.

for us is great ;).

but for a company that have to get back 6 billion it lost with the original xbox and 1 billion on warranty, and price cut will just delay that, they seeing a bit picture of it though if they manage to get good foot in the market this generation :)

Isn't this argument used by both sides of the HD divide? I'm absolutely sure I've seen people suggest Sony would support their games division with their other ventures.

Given that Sony has actually lost more money in the last two years than Microsoft has in gaming, I'm really not sure this is something to crow about. Both companies will need to tighten the belt considerably.

This strikes me as one of the premier examples of a Sony/Microsoft slapfest, while Nintendo is laughing all the way to the bank -- keep your eyes on the prize, fellas, because beating each other isn't actually the goal here.

But Sony started it more than a year ago already. Depending on their ability to cut down the costs during the last year, we'll see whether further actions are needed.

@Topic: This was expected. If i recall, M$ had a goal of making profit with 360.

Japanese stockmarket as a whole has went down. Just because the stock price goes down, doesn't mean the company is doing worse. Nintendo will still make huge profits, but as the general trend of Sony and Nintendo going down, is because USD dropping down. Nintendo and Sony are both companies that lives largely from exporting and trading in dollars.

It's usually expected, that when economy goes down, people spend less money on entertainment.

it's funny how you make us look good. ;)
