@Powertrade, From the article, this is exactly what I've been saying recently when I was debating with Laoldar that Sony will be better off with selling more consoles at a lower price with decent software sales, instead of selling PS3's at a higher price with less software; and the benefit it will bring to 3rd parties. I looked quickly but I cannot find where we had that discussion. I'll check again later:
"Divinch believes that although a price drop would incur a greater financial loss per console manufactured, he feels that such action is necessary as "Sony’s third party software support could be at serious risk if they allow Microsoft to continue to widen the sales gap."
