HA. If you have to make two consoles to compete against one, no matter the final numbers, adding cost of production and marketing you have already lost.

And you can put Wii an twice the sales of the gamecube and still be swept agaisnt the sales of PS2 (unlike gamecube, still selling and still getting games).

Obviously you have still to recover from las gen olympical defeat against PS2.

 

I'm not sure I understood anything you said in your post ...

The fact is that the PS3 and PSP erased all profit made by Sony with the Playstation and PS2 (and the Wii, Gamecube, and N64 were all amazingly profitable even though they were the trailing console) so it really depends on which two consoles you add together if it will be a losing or wining combination.

The one thing that Kaz Hirai doesn't seem to understand is every leading console has had a long life, and no trailing console has ever seen long term third party support

thats not true i want a link.. it erased all the profits sony made off the ps2 hardware not software. this is incorrect intill i see a link.

And the psp was very proftable last i heard.
