35 million is more than the entire install base of the Xbox or Gamecube last gen. Your talking about billions of dollars of potential revenue.

So Sony's mistake signals an end for them, yet Nintendo is allowed to make similiar mistakes and it's all well and good?

You're displaying an extreme Nintendo bias.

 

How much money did Nintendo lose on N64/GC? Oh, they made a nice profit with both of them. How is sony doing with ps3? Losing billions.

So the losses made from the PS3 are going to drive Sony out of the industry?

It's just not going to happen. The losses aren't extreme enough. Sony is a massive multimedia giant who can afford to take a hit like that and keep rolling. They even turned a profit last quarter, so things aren't all gloom and doom.

As much as you might not like it, Sony are here to stay.

I think it's fair to say we have now established:

1. 35 million is a large sum of gamers, and labelling them "a few hardcorez" is a massive understatement.

2. Sony "owned" the last two generations.

3. Saying a X console has the better games than Y console is a subjective opinion.

4. Sony is not going to leave the gaming industry anytime soon.

 

All in all, quite a productive few posts.
