lately sonys seems to be making really dumb decisions.
"Take the 60, it's a damn good deal..."
"No, I want a price cut"
"Well now there's a price cut, but there's a smaller HDD and no Backwards compatibility whatsoever; congratulations, moron, you had your chance."
"
What on earth did you expect, them to just lower the price? They were already selling at a huge loss and they weren't about to cut the prices and sell at an even greater loss. Things have to be done to cut prices.
Its just a rumor, there won't be a slim PS3, its just too early. Late 2003 early 2004 The slim PS2 made its way into the market. I can't see ever the PS3 getting one this early.
The PS3 costed $800 to manufacture, Now it costs $400 to manufacture. Its now half from what it was used to be, and this was stated 5 months ago on a gamegrep article i either posted or someone else. So from then to now, it has been making profit.
It badly need home to come out so they can earn shitloads of money off it.
I know Slumpy, but the console sales and amount of games being sold for them have been great this year and for the last 5 months.
They have sold some of their shares and re-couped some of the money they lost and the manufacturing has been slashed to half, and its going to be cut further in a month or two. People are living in the past.
The PS3 is not turning a profit, its a fact. You can't argue a fact. The PS3 is cheaper to manufacture today than it was yesterday, this much is true. The PS3 has been selling greatly in recent times, this much is also true. However, and pay attention now, all of those sales have not been enough to offset the hole that they have been in from the start. R&D has not been recouped, nor has the money they have lost thus far for selling the console itself at a loss. Do you understand that? They are not making money off of it because they have yet to draw even. In other words, they are only selling the PS3 at less of a loss now, than they were previously. If you loan me $10,000 to start a business, and I am making $500 off every sale, it is not a profit until I have made back that $10,000 PLUS put money in my own pocket. That is, by definition, what the word profit means. Its not a profit until you are making money, and that money is not made until you're above zero.
Now, I'm going to sit back and wait for you to argue your point.
