I think the sheer fact that they know, were planning on, and still willing to lose 800 million+ worth of profit, should just show you how serious they are concerning their direction in the gaming arena. |
Hmm. I don't know. If they were really serious about this, I think they'd plan to lose a billion a year for 5 years, like Microsoft. Honestly, a company should be willing to lose 15 or 20 billion dollars over three complete console generations if they're really serious about this.
Anyways... I'm not sure... But I think losing over 440 million a quarter adds up to more than 870 million in a year... Sure enough, PSP and PS3 are performing well below expectations from a year ago.
