| Squilliam said: Given the number of consoles sold thus far, they would be wise to close down a few of their SCE studios to lower their overall operating expenditure. If HD Publishers lost money this generation and they target 100% of the HD market how can SCE studios be assumed to be profitable? Their big games tend to be expensive and long in development with an unknown quantity of bundling throwing us off their real sales figures. |
yea that is one thing that has to be hurting Sony with the PS3. There have been so many bundles for the PS3 in its time. And when it has a bundle it looses any money it would have made for that game selling not in a bundle. And in situations like Metal Gear Solid 4, doesn't Sony have to pay Konami so much for every game they bundle. its not like konami gives them free games and says throw it in the pS3 bundle for free we dont' care.
Sure its something that a console has to do sometimes to drive up sales is bundling, but its never good for them to have to do it basically all the time and still as of now a pretty decent amount behind the closest competitor
