Buy a PlayStation 3 and Sink Sony

sonnyweathers writes "There has never been a more perilous time for Sony than 2006. But if you think you can save the company by buying PlayStation 3 consoles, you're wrong. Analyst Evermore believes that selling 6 million PS3 consoles will make Sony a ripe target for takeover — perhaps even by Microsoft."

OK, so I misquoted. It was Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi that said this:

"Our ideal," Kutaragi said, "is for consumers to think to themselves, 'OK, I'll work more hours and buy it.' We want people to feel that they want it, no matter what."

It was the article's author that summed it up as "Want a PS3? Work a little harder!"

It appears they want to make the money back selling the games. Gizmodo are reporting a projected increase in game prices to as much as $100 a game - the reason: Increased Dev Costs. So yeah, buy a PS3, but mortgage your house to get some games.

Wow, haven't been reading news much? Universal is the only movie company on the board of HD-DVD. While the Blu ray disc association is comprised of almost everyone else. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc_Associat ion http://www.blu-raydisc.com/general_information/Sec tion-14009/Index.html Before you say something along the lines of HD-dvd having more going for it than blu ray is purely selective.
