| vthokiesrmoo said: haha i do admit i bs'd the $100 but no the numbers are more around 3.0 billion losses from the ps3 in sept of 08 so your 4.5 is way too high, the 3.4 is more realistic. sony makes money off software the produce for the ps3 too its not all about the hardware. The ps3 will be profitable, if not just the hardware, the overall. |
You're wrong, you're wrong, you are wrong.
The PS3 lost more money than the PS2 ever made. Including its current sales. Literally, Sony lost everything made on the PS2.
So here you are arguing that:
(1) Not only are PS3 losses much lower than we can easily deduce on paper
but also that
(2) The PS3 will be much more profitable in the next couple of years than the PS2 ever was.
How on earth can you argue those points? We know point (1) with at least a 99% certainty.
The chance of Sony making a profit on the PS3 overall is nearly nil. They're still losing almost $100 per unit sold by iSuppli estimates when everything is factored in (it costs ~448 to make a PS3, then you have to ship it across the world, store it, and sell it, all of which cost money).
PS3 will not get close to 15% .. It will go below 20% but as it stands these last few weeks PS3 WW percentage each week has been above 15%.
I agree. The PS3 will probably have a very hard first half of the year, despite a few big titles. It may even have a hard second half. But it will not reach 15%, not anytime soon. I would be only mildly surprised if it ended CY2009 at 20% or below and expect it to be a bit above 20% at the end of CY2009.
