Those numbers would be more impressive if retail outlets weren't losing $50 CDN on each sale for each PS3. $20 CDN on every PSP and $20 CDN on every PS2 sold. (Numbers provided by Walmart and London Drugs. In Canadian Dollars.)

Those numbers would be far more impressive if Sony itself wasn't losing $180 USD on each PS3 sale. $60 USD on every PSP, and $30 USD on every PS2 sold. (Numbers estimated by the NPD. In American Dollars.).

It's amusing that they've slashed the prices on many old games, packaging this as something new and innovative when Nintendo has been doing this very same bull since the early 90's with SNES Greatest Hits Collections.

This is a painful ploy trying to reassure investors and Sony Fanboys, when clearly they're trying to make back the billions in lost revenues back from Research & Development, Console Manufacturing, Logistics, and Server Management by bubblegum packaging and mass-selling cheap games to countries well known for pirating console games.

I'm sure this'll work.

Especially since it's the same game plan Sega had for it's Dreamcast.

It worked then, didn't it?........... didn't it?.... guys?.... srsly guys.... didn't it?

Welcome to the volatile market known as console gaming.
