Nikko Citigroup expects Sony to begin generating profit from PlayStation 3 units in August.
Analysts at the wholesale investment bank upgraded Sony’s rating on Monday, engadget reports, noting that the platform holder will from August no longer be making a loss on each system sold. The website says that profit-making PS3s would likely feature sub-65nm cell processors, sub-90nm RSX graphics chips, or both, since the smaller chips are cheaper to manufacturer.

i think the company should hold profit highest but they should at least try to seem like theyre trying for first place. otherwise not trying for first is like lacking confidence is like saying goodbye to investors[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 148 ]bids

So, what happen if you are #1 and lose a lot of money ? Is it a better position compared to #2 and making buttload of money ?
Some company think that market share or position is everything, while other company think that profit is everything. Personally I like profit more than position, but that's me.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

Because of profit
"You can be second or third and still make a buttload of money," he continued. "I don't ever hear Activision or Ubisoft saying that they just hate being second or third and that they envy EA so much that they can't stand it. They both make a lot of money, and are very happy to thrive."[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 5 ]bids

well if we were to take what the honorable Michael Pachter said in last week's OXM Podcast as wise words, Microsoft would be dumb to do a price drop anytime soon.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 148 ]bids

What happened if X360 cut price this year ? Will Sony follow it, or stay at the same price to preserve their "on-profit" status ?[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids
