Being an electronics giant, they can counterfinance their losses - just like Microsoft. And don't forget the PS2, I still sells like crazy after 8 years or so; must be dirt cheap to produce by now. Sony's main issue has to be gaining a bigger user base, so they should rather lower the PS3's price. I guess in 2008, with a lot of highly anticipated exclusives coming, the PS3 will gain some momentum. So 2007 is the time window for Nintendo to grow the Wii user base as fast as they can, and I (personally) hope N are aware of that and give it all they got. |
This is not really the case, Sony's worth is less than Nintendo's now and they have far less flexible funds to freely spend. Sony is actually in all kinds of financial worry at the moment despite their stock doing farily well. Even if all other divisions were doing well there is no reason for Sony to keep supporting a money pit that threatens their long term standing with investors (this of course assuming Sony would take the safer route). Microsoft is the only one that actually has the money to burn and freely does so as people time and time again have mistaken Sony as having the potential for, I think people simply just assume all large companies function like Microsoft does leading to the illussion that Sony can pull off these miracles as many claim in threads like this.
