I agree with stickball on this one, serves Sony right, it´s their turn to pay. |
You totally lost me on this one. Pay for what exatly?

Currently, they've paid 3.5 billion dollars to come in 3rd place this generation.
It's very simple: Major companies have made horrible blunders with their consoles. Sony has done the exact same thing, and up until now, everything retarded they've done hasn't turned out as bad as it should have.
Until now. They're getting stomped in seemingly every market now. If things persist, and Sony can't re-capture any momentum, they will have to settle for a healthy 3rd place, but come at such a severe cost - they may take years to recover from.

So how much profit did Sony make with PS1 and PS2 combined? And does the 3.5Bill loss put them nearly back to square 1 where they started in the 90's?
|
They're on the verge of losing the ps2's money but it's still bringing in more. Ps1 profits have been immortalized already.
