With Sony having a rough go of it these days maybe it's time for them to start thinking outside of the box in their quest to become profitable again.  Since there's nothing better than brainstorming for coming up with ideas what better place than a video game community is there to help Sony with their Playstation woes?  Who knows, maybe some of them might end up finding their way to Sony headquarters.

So without further ado I'll get the ball rolling with some ideas of my own:

Build a factory in Asia to produce Wiis

If you can't beat them join them and what better way than for Sony to build a factory in Asia to produce Wiis?  While the concept of selling a video game console for a profit may be a foreign one to Sony this might just be the best way to test the waters with such an idea.  In the event that they decide it isn't for them they can easily recoup their investment by selling the factory for a profit.

Give away the Playstation 3 for free

Screw a measly $50 price cut for the Playstation 3 slim, that might not even guarantee them ever overtaking the Xbox 360.  A $100 price cut is much better but will still hurt the bottom line.  So why not go whole hog and give a $399 price cut?  Okay I know what some of you are thinking, Sony may be in better shape than Microsoft to cut the price of their console but not even they could afford to give them away.  Well here is where the clever part comes in... 

Remember the headlines about President Obama telling America's parents to "turn off the Xbox"?  Well it's time he was made aware of the Playstation brand and what better way than headlines of Sony having gargantuan losses?  Then Sony could blame it on the economy and ask Obama for massive government loans.  If the banks can suckle on the government teat and make money while doing it why not Sony?  They just need to remember to put huge future executive bonuses in writing ahead of time so that no government bureaucrats looking to make a name for themselves can take them away.  There would also be no worries of outrage from the general public either since most of them will be too busy playing with their free Playstation 3s at home to pay attention.

Anyways that's all I have so far so lets hear some of your ideas.

Jocularity aside, there are none.

No.

Your thread isn't funny and you fail.

That is all.

This seems appropriate for this thread. And is also my idea of what Sony should do at this thread.

err is this supposed to be funny?

You suck.

Why don't they bundle in a free XBOX 360. Then it will sell gangbust... oh wait, no it won't.

Considering all the Sony Movie rumors lately I'm thinking they are getting on the ball with leveraging and marketing their I.P. I'm surprised it took them this long to start synergizing the marketing and Pictures and games divisions. If God of War, Uncharted, Infamous, Shadow of the Colossus, and any other workable i.p. they have work out well Sony gets better game sales and extra blu ray sales as well.
