And as TheBigFatJ has mentioned, and quite well I must add, Sony has planned PS3 for a very long term investment. While there are aspects in the industry that might take away the length of that plan in due time ( Wii's momentum and the launch of next gen of systems ) Sony has set themselves up for a long term investment with PS3. Also I think everyone knows Sony's approach is two-pronged, as they can make more money by winning the HD battle, than they can by gaming alone. Hence PS3's being used as leverage. MS's strategy might really please their rabid fans, but don't think Wallstreet is interested in how fun the Xbox can be due to MS burning its massive piles of money on it. Shareholders will be seeing red soon enough if 360 doesn't show any sings of paying off, that is, if they don't own a 360 and haven't had a RROD already. |
Why is it not a problem with Sony burning money to leverage Bluray but a problem with MS burning money to leverage Live/Marketplace?
You could just as easily say "Sony's strategy might really please their rabid fans, but don't think Wallstreet is interested in how fun the PS3 can be due to Sony burning its massive piles of money on it. Shareholders will be seeing red soon enough if PS3 doesn't show any sings of paying off".
