| Adam540 said: Another issue is that even if Sony is able to sell enough consoles to catch Nintendo and Microsoft, will they be able to make any profit at all. I'm agreeing with John Lucas who says that they need to sell 100 million consoles just to make some money in this business. I think the stockholders will pull the plug because 50 mill is a best case scenario for Sony right now and i don't think that will make them any money. |
So... worth case scenario for Sony, $400 PS3 fails, system sells 800k this Holiday, next spring the drop the conole to $300 and have their good games, sales are less than 500k, they pull the plus. Late 2010 they pull the plus on PSP and PS2, and Playstation brand dies.
Worst case for Xbox 360- cosnole stagnates, sells 30 million units, they lose 2 billion on Xbox 360, they decide to bow out of the maret.
Worst case for Nitnedo- Wii sales are huge this Wineter, but begin to weaken throughout he year. THey have an 08 winter comeback, but end up in a 3 way tie with Xbox leading in USA, PS3 leading in apan, and PS3 walso barley winning in Europe. PSe sells 50 million, Wii 4x, Xbox 360 4xThe industry stagnate adn shrinkes overall. The DS also declines, and tops out at 90 million.
I would say Sony is by far in the most trouble...
