I may have a very naive and simplified view of things, but this is how I see it. (quarterly) Sony: PS2 = good profit, decreasing PS3= huge losses, won't go away for some time BluRay = small profit now, huge potential
MS: X360 = huge losses, will soon break even and make a (small) profit Live = some profit now, huge potential
Sony did great with PS2, but they're digging themselves deeper and deeper into a hole with PS3. MS got into a deep financial hole with XB, but are getting themselves up from that hole with X360. |
Is that your personal opinion or what?
Last I heard PS3 manufacturing costs were going down significantly and they were moving towards a 65 nm chip.
Besides moving to a 65nm chip, I see nothing to suggest that the 360 will soon break even and make a small profit.
As far as Live goes, only about 20% of my friends with 360 (most of them casual gamers) have the Gold membership, the rest all only have Silver for Demos and Trailers.
I had a link and I'll try to find it where there was MS, Sony and Nintendo FY earning from 2000 to 2006 or so. Microsof has not made a profit at all, and like I said, nothing suggests that they are digging themselves out of this hole.
