For refrence by the way... the years the PS1 launched in Japan and N. America
Sony did post a loss as a whole. Of somewhere aroudn 3 million dollars the first year and a similar amount the second year.
Do to currency exchanges losing a lot of money and the motion picture buisness having a big dropoff of profits.
The PS1 on the otherhand was reported to be doing well.
It's in the financial reports.
Anyone who tried to make a connection otherwise was just drawing a parlel that wasn't there. The losses didn't come from that division.

yes, but it was still one of the bigger losts Sony had, but they still made profit on PlayStation later. Oh and PS3 is doing better than PS1 so i guess if PS1 was doing well, PS3 is doing AWSOME

No... it wasn't one of the bigger losses Sony had... and it wasn't related to the PS1.
Also... the PS3 is doing better then the PS1? On what possible metric? it's lost billions when the PS1 was profitable.
|
PS3 IS selling better than PS1 but nobody said PS1 was a failure. PS3 has sold A LOT mre than Ps1 in the same time

The PS1 wasn't costing Sony massive amounts of money.
It also wasn't following the most dominant videogame system since the NES.
Terms of success and failure hedge largely on your predecessors.
The PS3 turned an amazing situation into a mediocre one... and lost lots of money doing it.
The PS1 turned a non-factor in videogames into the market leader while making money.
The PS1 controlled both a higher market percentage and made more money then the PS3.
