| heruamon said: Lotta data here to process, but on the surface, Sony has to get the cost down for the PS3, otherwise, they are losing money into year 3 of the console at an unacceptable rate, and this is why M$ killed original xbox...they built no efficiencie into the console...now, that's clearly not the position the PS3 is in, but with $3.5 bln in losses expected for 2007 thru 2008...something needs to change....sooner or later, it reaches a point of diminishing returns. I know they are working hard on reducing the cost of the chips and the brd, but the movie format hasn't taken off yet, and electronics division is losing money on that format as well...I wouldn't want to be the head of those divisions...NO BONUS! The PS2 is one of the greatest electronic devices made in the past 30 years, but it can only keep the others afloat for so long... |
I agree. As a note, if you read MSFT financials, the ORIGINAL XBOX was STILL LOSING MONEY in their final year of production.
That is, the original xbox console hardware NEVER made any money.
