Forums - Sales Discussion - PS3 - $11 Billion Loss since 2005

Unlike Nintendo, Sony actually values the costumer enough to sell their products at a loss. The amount they've lost comes to show how costumer centered Sony really is while Nintendo is cut throat in for the profits only. Nintendo is one of the strongest examples of the sad reality of capitalism.

That is why I do not like Nintendo.



Listen, bum, the PSP hardware might not have made break-even until late last year. The thing started its sales during the timeframe you have set up for your little scenario. That means billions of the losses you are attributing to the PS3 were caused by the PSP instead. Your "analysis" is absolutely worthless if you can't even take that into consideration.



You do not have the right to never be offended.

 HAHAHA dude your on one.

 

The only reason they do it is to push more hardware. They only care about you if your buying thier products.

 

Acting like they give a shit about ya's. LOL



I am WEEzY. You can suck my Nintendo loving BALLS!

@ ChichiriMuyo

If you have other assumptions, you are more than welcome. I never claimed what you are saying.

If PSP is LOSING money, then it's fine, you can subtract that from the PS3 losses. I just thought that PSP is making money. If that is not the case, then I have no objections.

Please see my previous post directed to Rock On.

I agree with you that if PSP lost $1Billion as you say, then obviously we can subtract that $1 Billion from the PS3 and allocate to PSP.

To summarize my post to Rock On.
PS2 and PSP sold a total of approx. 800 million units of hardware and software in TOTAL FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS.

PAST 3 YEARS CUMULATIVE SONY GAMe loss = $3.14 Billion

You can do the scenario analysis where you want to allocate the losses.
(the reason I used 3 years is because that was when PS3 was first mentioned in the FINANCIALS - it wasn't mentioned at all the financials the year before that)

Random numbers out of my ass:

Sony lost 3094271432447 dollars from PS3 development.

Microsoft lost 1243253432786 dollars from the XBox project (includes both the XBox and the 360)

Nintendo has made 6584038237038421764 dollars from all Nintendo consoles and handhelds.



FYI before someone mentions it.

The reason I chose Sony financials is because they seem to be the most transparent.
They have PS2, PSP, PS3, hardware and software unit totals. Very nice to analyse.

I read the Nintendo ones but couldn't find actual software / hardware unit sales.

I didn't even touch Microsoft, because as other people have pointed out, they also lump in all kinds of sem-unrelated products (ie. Office Mac) to the same division.

"Values the customer enough" to sell at a loss?  You're out of your mind.  Selling a product like a console at a loss doesn't mean you value your customers, it means you're a cut-throat that is willing to kick the competition in the balls and hurt yourself in order to win in the long run.  It has nothign to do with how much they value their customers.  If it did, then they wouldn't have to have been sued to start fixing DREs for free. 

Nintendo's customer service kicks serious ass, should you actually be so unfortunate as to pick up a Nintendo product that isn't built like a freaking tank.  They show they care about their customers by making products that do what the customer wants at a price most of their potential customers find fair and they take care of those customers when there is a problem.  Sony and MS have both tried to hide the reality of their hardware mistakes and have done everything they could to weasel out of accepting responsibility while Nintendo has maintained the best customer service seen in the video game business.

Thread op. You just made the losses up to make the PS3 look really bad. You blame all the losses on the PS3. You are an idiot. I bet you have no understanding of interpreting financial statements.
