You think the 360 will break 35million consoles? I assure you that it won't.

PS3 is an investment and investments are not profitable short term. Sony clearly explained this and it is the reason that Sony generates such high revenue because they are constantly expanding. Nintendo are being profitable but they are not expanding their company like Sony is doing. I might also point out that Sony's losses in gaming are becoming less and less, they will be profitable by this time next year and recover the losses. It's not a major concern.

Your last point is absurd. Expecting a $600 system with no games in it's first year to compete with a $300 system that had the PS2 lineup is insane. I think it's common knowledge that the PS3 is under performing but it's being hyperboled out of proportion by 360 and Wii fans.


Complete hogwash. Good investments can make profit in the short and long term. Example, iPod made a profit from day one. It's also made record profit for every year since day one. Another example, Nintendo DS made a profit from day one. The DS has continued to make massive profits ever since launch. Apple and Nintendo have proven that you don't need to take losses to have enormous commercial success. 

Sony's losses in the PS3 is $3 billion and climbing. It's going to take years to climb out of that hole if ever.
