| Snake said: so what? this is their first maybe second year where they lost money. 1)Microsoft lost 6 billion on entire Xbox family but you didn't see that on vgchartz. I am not trying to defend Sony here i am just saying Sony its not screwed if it had two bad years. every company in the world has some bad period. 2)When Game Cube was dying did anybody told Nintendo is dead? i think they did, and look at Nintendo now. They are definitivly winning this generation. Some people( (4 actually)on this we site are acting like they were waiting Sony to lose money for their entire life.OMG Sony is losing money!!!!!!! Note: the last sentence describes only those 4 people |
Wow, so much is wrong with this post.
1) The amount of money MS has lost on the X-box brand has been brought up on this forum several times. Usually in comparison to the profits Sony made on the PS1 and PS2 in contrast with the losses on PS3. Your point is immaterial regardless. Sony as a company is posting these losses. MS as company was posting huge profits in spite of their losses on teh X-box.
2) Nintendo made profit on the Gamecube. So your comparison is ridiculous. Anyone predicting Nintendo's demise didn't have sense enough to look at their balance sheet. No matter what their marketshare is, Nintendo has always posted a profit. Nintendo does not use the "loss leader" strategy that Sony and MS employ. So they don't have to dominate the market to make profit.
If the information on Sony was fabricated, I could understand people being upset. However this is factual information on the financial status of the company. Should this information not be posted because a few fanboys don't want to face up to reality?
