Perhaps. But they still won't. They're already selling $400 consoles at a LOSS - a loss they AREN'T making up in software sales like every company is supposed to.
I know I'm coming off as argumentative, but I actually DO like the PS3. It's the best piece of hardware on the market. But the user base is small, the price is too high, and Microsoft's exclusive titles TROUNCE Sony's in sales. Blu-Ray might give it some legs, but in this generation of gaming, Sony is done. They can't make up over three years of losing.
In any event, it's all about price. Even if the PS3 gets a price cut, it still won't get into a competitive price range with the 360 Arcade's $200. Price is half the reason the Wii did so well for so long. I mean, 99.9% of Wii games are shovelware, but the price (well, and a retarded gimmick) keeps it selling like hotcakes.
