What I am saying is, losing a buttload of money is nothing new to SONY. They do it every generation, each time out doing themselves. Sony has a few things all pooling from there pockets this gen.
THe PS3, PSP, and BluRay. Of course they have spent maybe the most this time then ever before. Yet every time what has happened? Sony comes out on top with there products and they make profits, thats 2 gens in a row. Now unless you can prove that Sony's plan isn't working, or that they don't have one, there is no proof that they won't do the same this time around.

uhhh.. i would say 3 years of loss that the ps3 has given them which totals more than they have pretty much made in their entire lifespan in the gaming industry (assuming the PSone made at least 150 billion yen) meaning everything they have worked for in the psone, ps2 and psp + software was wasted also accounting to the fact that they have projeted further loss in the future means there is no way their "plan" could work.

 

a few extra years of losses with a much more on the line makes perfect sense to me. Before Sony only dealt with PS1, then PS2. Now they are dealing with PS3,PSP, and BluRay. Thats three times as much to deal with, so I expect at least 3times as much loss of profit for the first few years, though when it kicks back it will kick back hard. That is when PS3,PSP, and BluRay become the most profitable.
