Good news

Favorite films. Foreign films forever!

 

It will have been over 3 1/2 years, closer to 4 by the time this happens.

This has to be an unprecedented record for a console (or any consumer electronic device) to be on the market for that long, and sell as many units as it has sold at a loss, for the manufacturer.

And while the PS3 has been "un-doomed" since the slim SKU debuted, with the current redesign now pulling hardware units into zero-loss/profit generators, any future talk regarding the premature death of the PS3 now moves into the realm of wild prediction wish fantasies.



i don't think they should do a pricecut unless the console will still net a profit. Playstation 3 has been losing a lot of money for sony and its finally time for it to start making that money back. The userbase is big enough and growing at a good pace for good titles to sell well, and it doesn't need a boost if its going to cost them money.



Awesome news! Hopefully in the next few years they can make profit and cut into the losses of the first 3 years of the PS3.

Now the jokes about hurting Sony by buying the console should slow down.



The PS3 is Dooooo... oh wait... nvm



Unicorns ARE real - They are just fat, grey and called Rhinos

more price drops, more cool exclusive games to come. Good job PS3 team!



But I want it to still be domed =(

Domed is a funny word to me.



when will we see the PS3 with this new cheaper graphic card on the market?



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
