I don't know about being able to afford it after another year of heavy losses (for Sony as a whole not specifically their PS line) but I just posted this about their profitability & so on ~

And the new 40nm RSX model is shipping now which will help out profitability and possibly a counter price drop (probably only to $249) when MS does theirs this year as it is almost definitely going to happen....

They can afford a price cut...Sony BGM is proof of that...if they didn't have billions of dollars to throw away every year, then they would not keep trowing away billions of dollars on Sony BGM every year.

As for PS2 sales...I am a bit surprised people are still buying them. The only use for a PS2 that I see is as a MP3 player/SD video box...and you can't use the new ones like that because sony blocked the freeMCboot exploit.

Well $60 for a console with over like 2000 games or something, you can't really go wrong... Might not look as awesome as current generation games but they're still games and they're still fun :)
