Well the elite was never mentioned as the console of discussion. So when making a point i recommend being more concise with your topics.

Too bad its not realistic. By the time MSFT would drop the Elite to $199 the PS3 could drop to $249 (Next fall) If they drop it sooner theyd either have to get rid of the arcade model, which by all account they probably favor since its os cheap and require so many additional purches to upgrade it.

I think it speaks volumes to how much the generation has changed when we need to talk about whether an Elite needs to be $100 less than the PS3 to compete.


But if PS3 drops, then you basically have Sony going deeper into the red to combat the 360, kind of my point, MS would benefit either way, as Sony would be forced to continue to bleed

You basing an entire argument about this based on profitability more than a year from now. Need i say more.


Sony already admitted profitability is more than a year off

They will most definatly profit this and next quarter... then profit 2 quarters later.... lol you make it seem like they are just going to post losses untill then... Sony profitted last year this quarter. They are loosing much less per ps3 and have FF13, AC2, and MW2 with the normal SW sales. Next quarter they will have how many games? GoW3, GT5, FF13 westward, and various other games. Then who knows what they'll do Q1 and Q2 but Q3 they should post another profit... and if they are expecting a profit in FY '10 they should make a profit yet again... you seriously are making it out worse than it is.
