Guys, why exactly should Sony cancel the Ps3? Sure they are going to lose money on it but Microsoft lost much more on the original Xbox and I guess the PS3's sales as a Blu-Ray player make somewhat up for it.
I highly doubt they are going to cancel it. That would be much more expensive in the end. |
Did they? I would be interested in seeing the numbers on that!

They seem about tied to me considering that the PS2 and PSP were contributing during the PS3 era. Both fiascos seem to have cost around $4 billion.

I would hardly call the xbox entering an console market a fiasco. It was a calculated gamble on their part and judging from how well the 360 is doing this gen, it paid off.
Sony's got a fiasoco. From ps2 dominating consoles last gen to a dominating 3rd place this generation.

MSFT expected to take a loss on the Xbox. It was an entry console only and it fulfilled its life as a stopgap to the Xbox 360.

Oh yeah...you phrased it better. MS expected the loss on xbox, Sony didn't expect the loss on ps3.
