It does not mean the gamers will not like the consoles. That's not what it's about. The PS3 can give a good gaming experience, so does the X360 and the Wii, the difference is that the PS3 is costing Sony money and also costing them market share, while the X360 cost MS money, but they did increase market share and now are making money too since a few months. The Wii is a big success because it always did both. About the game sales, Sony is not selling enough games to cover all their costs. Far from it. Killzone 2 probably won't be earned back, and that's with a lot of games. Especially since Sony needs to pay devs more because of more time/resources than MS because of the harder hardware to develop for. It's simply a loss/loss for Sony. Again, that does not mean it's a loss/loss for gamers. |
Well, Sony is also making money lately,and PlayStation brand made so much money for Sony so its time PlayStation to take some of it back.PS1 actaully saved Sony in 1995. Microsoft on the other hand has been loosing on Xbox since its launch, but they still made some profit lately for a couple of months. And it took them 7 years to make that small profit on xbox. I am sure PS3 will do the same but faster. Just wait. Blu ray sales have already increased for 800% in Japan, software sales have increased for 65%, Cell processor didn't even show 50% of its power, Gran Turismo 5 ( best selling PlayStation game ) its not even launched yet, PlayStation Network is growing very very fast...
