The next generation should be their finish line.<BR/><BR/>And where is that die reduction?Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260309971152360156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611352.post-83242370349041624942007-04-20T10:43:00.000-07:002007-04-20T10:43:00.000-07:00I think that Microsoft will actually feel more pri...I think that Microsoft will actually feel more price pressure from Nintendo than Sony will. The Wii is on fire with consumers that have $250 sitting around, and that means that they're a lot less likely to buy an Xbox 360. Those people considering a PS3, however, are more likely to pick up two consoles anyway, so the Wii doesn't eat into PS3 sales the same way.<BR/><BR/>I do wonder how long they can hold off the investor complaints. As I said recently on CG, the idea 10 years ago was not to have a console, and now they're doing it and losing money *still*. If the Wii wounds them and they're forced into a price cut without commensurate cost reductions (the die shrink still hasn't happened!), that's just more red ink on top of what they already have. How long will investors buy the "yes, but we're going to make money eventually!" line?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546761703943819030noreply@blogger.com
