The more consoles they sell the more in the red they fall, it is tons
of (overpriced) games they need to sell.

Sony better drop the price of that thing, the GPU in PS3 is lower-end
than a 7800 GTX.

Analyst: PS3 Price Cut 'Ridiculous'

Analysts are already criticizing Sony for cutting the PlayStation 3's
price in Japan before launching the system, suggesting the move may be
premature.

ImageYoku Ihara, head of equity research at Retela Crea Securities told
Bloomberg, "It's ridiculous to decide to cut the price before they
start selling the PlayStation 3. They may cut the price again if sales
don't go well."

Sony cut the price of the 20GB hard drive-equipped PS3 under heavy
criticism that the system was too costly. The company reduced the price
from just over 60,000 yen ($516) to 49,980 yen ($430). Japanese
retailers will determine the price of high-end, 60GB PS3s.

The price reduction is limited to the Japanese market.

Naoki Fujiwara with Shinkin Asset Management added that the cut "is
negative for the short term because the company may not be able to sell
enough consoles to cover an instant loss caused by the price cut."

The PS3 is set to launch November 11 in Japan.

Yes, but in order to sell the "tons of (overpriced) games", they need to
sell tons of consoles first.
