With these numbers and the losses Sony are making I'm inclined to think they should throw in the towel with the PS3 and invest money and time on getting the PS4 right, or withdraw from the race completly, maybe selling the Playstation brand to another player i.e. Apple or even MS.
Yes, they'd loose face, but profit is more important that anything else in the world of business. Loosing 3.5bn on 1 product is silly.
I am largely platform agnostic. I fail to understand why some people get overly fanboyish about what is an inanimate piece of electronics that's obsolete even before it's launched, when there are far more important things to champion, such as preventing environmental destruction or preventing millions of people dying unnecessarily from illnesses. This fact however, doesn’t mean I am not someone who doesn’t enjoy gaming as a pastime (as I have done for the last 20 years) or doesn’t have a strong interest in how the market is evolving – hence my presence on this site.
Platforms owned – PC, DS, X-Box 360, PS3, PSP and Wii.
