good. sony didnt lose money this month then

i dont get how people think that not selling PS3s is financially good fpr SONY. Sure they lose money on each PS3 sold but to make the PS3 say it costs $450. If they sell it they make $400 back. Thats hell of alot better then just losing $450.

I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!

Say what you will about Yahoo and it's motives, but if they are telling people to hold off buying a PS3 because a $100 price drop is SURELY just around the corner, then that is exactly what a lot of people are going to do.

They read "PS3 price drop is imminent" on the internets, so it must be true.

Even if Sony was planning on holding the price until 2010, their hand is virtually being forced, unless they don't mind the prospect of PS3 sales falling through the floor, particularly in America. People will believe media predictions over company denials 9 times out of 10.

From what I've observed this generation, it seems the media likes to pick on Nintendo and Sony the most. Not so much the other company. I don't think "M$ is paying them" like many will criticize. But I'm sure they have a lot of advertising revenue from them comparatively.

I never see something like "Wii double 360 sales, despite being $50 more expensive."

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
