Well, Sony sure is in a tight spot right now. And they're still losing money on every PS3 sold.. Then again, so is Microsoft. With their Xbox360s.

Looking at financial statements, I see MS crushing Sony in profits, not losing billions. I don't know what you're talking about. Unless you're talking about Sony's game division vs. MS's home and entertainment division. In which case, you don't know what you're talking about since that division has about a dozen money losing products so no one can tell how the Xbox 360 in particular is doing.

Now why do you think Microsoft did that?
So they can hide their loses and push it off on other products.

So, if they bet on XB sales drop and they don't enough, Sony would have sales lower than expected, while in the opposite situation, Sony would unnecessarily give up a part of gross takings, maybe having losses if HW costs haven't dropped enough. Spreading in time price drop dates around the world did pay for MS: giving up an higher spike, they got a longer lasting effect in return, putting their rival in uncertainty for more time in a crucial period. Obviously if Sony is almost 100% sure the bundles will get them very good Xmas sales as absolute value, they could accept the risk of being third in sales and avoid gambling. |

MS always being reticent about which products are losing money shouldn't exactly be the most reassuring thing for investors. We can only know that Windows and Office give MS profits so high to compensate other divisions' losses, but now part of Office profits are at risk and MS is playing again dirty against ODF to stop OOo and whichever else Office competitor, but EU is more and more relying on open formats and protocols and it isn't willing to tolerate other unfair actions by MS, next time fines could be so high to really hurt and restrictive measures, well, more restrictive.
Sony is actually probably making money on each console sold, for the first time this quarter, since the 80GB model's release. Its likely a 65nm CPU and 65nm GPU, it lost all the PS2 BC hardware, it lacks a lot of the spiffy extras the old 80GB had (SD port, 2 extra USB ports, etc).
I wouldn't be at all surprised if $399.99 actually turned a profit for each of the new 80GB PS3s sold, albeit a small one. Sony should not drop the price, until they can cut the costs of building the machine to cover it.

I agree SONY IS NOT GOING TO DROP THE PRICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish they would personally but NOT going to happen if id the 360 outsells them every week for the rest of the year
PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

I disagree MS thinks long term they knew the xbox would lose money at first and started turning profit for the divsion this year, as stated we dont know if it was all Xbox, but they are in second place so they must be doing something right.
