Don’t follow the hype, follow the games

Here a little quote I want for those to keep memorize in your head for this coming next gen.

Yeah, loses are because PS4. But how much units or time will it need to return to profit again? Are they going to get profit from the first sold console with the current announced price, just like the Wii the last gen?


I think they should be able to make PS4 profitable quickly. They are certainly looking to be the dominant console next generation and now they are charging for online which should help them make a lot of money. Also I don't think they are making a loss for each console sold.

It costs money to launch a new console globally.

I hope this doesn't come as news to anyone on VGC.

Love it! Nintendo fanboys without actual Nintendo home systems!

Well i got a 3DS with 3 games, a 360 with dozens of games, a Vita with about 10 games and a PS3 with above 10 games.

 

Love it! You should get an award for your intelligent remark. Also its quite likely that sales will be weak after the inital launch, as it happens with every system mister brainiac. I know quite well no one will scream doom. Its a skewed view you share with us. None of them are doomed. We just have too many unpatient whinny kids on the internet. But, i guess you know that better than anyone else!

Speaking of intelligent remark, care to explain what makes you think that the next gen systems will bomb?

I think that reading what i said properly would go a long way towards the goal of understanding what i meant. Your conclusion is not the same one i arrived to. But i guess it reinforces my point.

So, looking at the latest financials for Q1 shows that Sony's gaming division lost over $1.6mil a day each day for the full quarter.....that is truly staggering!

What would you could do with $1.6 million!

well, you could use the money to produce a lot of PS4 consoles to be sold at a later date



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

He just said he doesnt think it will bomb, just that sales will be slow post launch which is what every system released this century has gone through except for PS2 and Wii.

Will Q2 have R&D costs as well or is that all posted in one quarter?
