They can't say this because they probably want to minimize the losses.

The price for N9 is now as the "Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S"

I would like to believe this as much as anyone here, but I cannot. I think you have to scrape the bottom of the barrel pretty hard to come up with an plausible explanation other than the one I gave.

The game is over, Windoze Phone won (a pyrrhic victory), and Nokia is putting the board and pieces away. The only question is how long it will take them to discard the pieces that they no longer want.
