| Gelmer said: Compare the PS3 to the PS2 and PS1 all you want but their situation is dire here. Sony is hemoraging money like there is no tommorrow, when the PS1 launched they had many powerful other divisions to absorb the impact of what in all reality they knew would be a rough start, but the PS3 was something they had not prepaired for being a relative flop. Now with all of their divisions either suffering or doing so-so with numbers of recalls and costly lawsuits to add insult to injury, they're really not that adept at making this work right now. Fishy Joe put it best, why not just sell it at $199, garantee it being a second PS2 and whipe the floor with everyone else eventually recapping their lost funds down the road. Because, they can't, truth be told they're using the European/Other market as an anchor trying to sell the PS3 at full cost there ($1000) to try and offset the initial horrible loss of selling it at $600-500 in the states and $400 in Japan from driving the entire project bankrupt. Again, Sony fans are entitled to their optimism, but they can't expect people not with a reason to root for Sony to actually beleive them. Lair was suppossed to be the Ps3's driving force for a while and instead it was another nail in the coffin. If the PlayStation brand name was really that powerful the PS3 would already be winning and not envoking supporters' excuses for it. Also, why do MS and Nintendo have to make desperate cut throat moves to end the PS3 while its vulnerable when Sony is doing the work for them? |
LMFAO, gballzack ?
Their Electronincs and Movies divisons are doing great. Sony right now is absorbing SCE losses, so WTF are you talking about.
PS3 a flop, LOL really good one troll but thats only you opinion and its really its worth nothing at all with all the bs as fact that you post.
Sony is selling the PS3 at $1000 in Europe using it as aanchor ? Uk amazon has it for £399.99 = $806 and 20% of that is vat. Estimates pegged the PS3 production ccost at +$800 so Sony sure as hell were not selling the PS3 at full cost there.
Fishyjoe comment is a joke, tell me why arent MS selling the 360 at $200 or even $100 we all know they can afford to but no semi intelligent corp would sell a product at such a loss. They will only sell at a loss that they are confident they can make up. The whole #1 at any cost is retarded, just look at how it ruined GM.
Lair was a potential aaa game, you sony haters can post your BS comments that Lair or whatever failed to drive sales but reality is and you all know it that the big sales driveing games are all coming out in 08.
Now before it was ohh MGS or GT will come to late PS3 is doomed is dead, well it didnt die so your tunes changed from "its to late" to "ohh it does not matter that game is not that big" Quite the hypoctites.
Some really high qulaity BS "Gelmer"
