There's not really anything Sony can do -- they're already losing $40 on every PS3 sold and even more on the millions that aren't selling. God of War 3 could temporarily revive the PS3 -- but how long will that last?

^ God of War 3?! Thats what a 2M+ selling series last time? 3M at best...

Rockon2008 is back!!!! except he's in an MS fanboy costume this time lol.

He really reminds me alot of rockon.

 Do some research - you sound like an ignorant fool.

Microsoft's EDD has posted PROFITS for the past 2 years!!!

The PS3 has been a money black hole that has sucked ALL THE PROFITS from the ps2 AND PSP and nearly destroyed sony itself.

Microsoft IS making money on the xbox.

Have they made back thier investment?  Of course not.  But at least they have POSITIVE revenue streams.  Sony admitted in their financial reports they may NEVER RECOVER the money lost on the ps3.  All for the glory of LAST PLACE!

The ps brand has been destroyed because sony wanted to force a movie format down your throat and all you can do is make excuses for their borderline criminal activities.

Sony's classic propaganda branwashing has effective on you.- Joseph Mengele would be proud.

this week they both might be under 100k

Unfortunately, this just might be the case. Sales are on their way down. Maybe the low economy is just now hitting the video game industry... I mean, even Wii is selling far below expectations.

nintendo went from having more marketshare from it competition to last too.
and now look at them (bank account)

companies go with this all the time and we are a recession, it was bound to happen.

also if ps3 drops below 100k 360 more likely be very close to.

I wonder if other members understand that critically low can be relative. Critical for one does not necessarily mean critical for another. All things are not equal specifically in the manufacturing methodology of both Sony and Microsoft. What I am getting at is that these figures might be critical for Sony, but probably would not be to Microsoft.

Logically you would think that both companies would have used last years sales figures to determine how many units must be manufactured this year, and as we all know Sony has been down year over year for almost if not all of this year. So if sales continue to slide downward they may be manufacturing far in excess of demand. Not to mention that Sony was probably overdrawn on manufacturing from late last year.

I think critical is entirely dependent on whether the sales cause excessive liquidity to be locked up within merchandise. Anything over two million consoles unsold is a billion dollars that Sony cannot spend. Money that must have the interest paid for. This forced Sony to slash prices in its first year just as much as needing to salvage their console. So what I am saying is this could be critically low dependent on whether Sony is outstripping demand, and for how long they have been doing so.

Nothing says that the term critical cannot both be incendiary and unfortunately correct.

I don't know who is right and I really don't care.

TheTruthProphet-- if you're going to make claims, just provide sources.  It keeps people from arguing with you and makes you seem like less of a fanboy to some people.

At everyone who thinks he's wrong-- same thing, provide links to sources that prove him wrong.

So instead of just going back and forth with no actual proof, just provide links and let this retarded argument end.

Dodece, Sony would also realise that selling the same console at the same price for near on two years would result in decreasing sales. Evidence of this would be Sony's FY2008 sales estimates and sales data being dead on. So being down YoY would have been something Sony had expected. MS halved the price of almost all 360 models, it would have predicted increased sales, so again, the current sales most likely matches their expectations, and hence their manufacturing rate.
