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.

Dodece - you are a word wizard & master of the english language.  Smooth logic and easy reading makes your posts the most enjoyable on any game website I have ever seen.  Thanks for breaking the boundaries of conventional thought with your meticulous musings.  I appreciate their sincerity and sound reason.

 



@OP- How are you like not banned you know?



Xbox Man, you make the most hilarious threads

This is better than the undertracked 360 one at least. And what are Sony going to do? They're going to wait. What do you want them to do, cancel the PS3? So Microsoft has no competition and complete HD market dominance? I'm sure they'll be perfectly happy to keep prices competitive and keep giving you guys excellent software and services when gamers have no option but to buy a 360...

Reality check.

It goes both ways, so enjoy it.

I predict Sony will do one of the following:

A. Something

B. Nothing

C. Anything

D. All of the above.

 

I hope that answers your question.



sony aint go do shit! they are probably happy because the 360 sales are terrible and that means they dont really have to cut the price. if they wanted to they could have just cut the price already and left the 360 way behind but sony have a better plan in mind.



Why isn't he banned? It's obvious he just made that account to piss everyone off.
