Sony doesn't mind having a slightly 'overpriced' current gen console because people are still going to buy it and its 10 year old system is still making a lot of money. They have quite a bit to fall back on and was in their business plan from day one. They knew they would lose alot of money per console initially; but that it would steadily ramp up.

Sure you can buy a 200 or 300 dollar X360 (Which I have and love) but if you want the 'full' feature set it is NO cheaper then a ps3.

@Gundam: The ps3 can handle the price drop without killing sony. Everyone always talks about how ps3 is behind xbox in the 2008 gaming market but look at the figures.
