Sony’s domination = How much profit?

Erik,

Thanks for the thread. Really good stuff. $9 dollars eh? Any idea when they started to make that? ( What price was the PS2 cut to, in order to start turning out the Hamilton?)

The more I am able to analyze the numbers, it really seems that Nintendo is the only artist of the industry these days, in which the rich kids ( Sony and MS ) are tying to mimic, yet can't compete with in regards to sheer talent.



Reverie,

Yeah I imagine that one would have to check out the software sales as well. But it seems a bit of a challenge to find out the hardware sales currently. So I figured I would try and hunt for software sales figures later.

I would love to get some approximate sales figures for software sales for the consoles eventually too.

When you put the profits Sony put up with the PS2, and contrast the red grave MS built with the Xbox, it really becomes astounding. I think Erik has it right: Xbox was a train wreck.

4 Billion lost is ALWAYS a trainwreck! I mean good God, 4 billion?!?!?! That's 4 Oprahs!!!! And that's a lot of weight, baby.

Looking at Reverie's avatar...The PS2's dominance and yet it never went above Nintendo in drought. Not ONCE. Weird. These giants fighting this average sized man and still not overcoming him. Reminds me of a DBZ fight, seriously. LOL!

That short spike for MS MUST have been for Halo 2. Wow.

Reverie, put up charts for this generation and let's follow these profit margins to see who put in the work this gen so far. So appropiate that Nintendo's line color was GREEN and Microsoft's was RED. LOL! I could do something with Sony's BLUE line but it might cause a commotion in here so I'll keep it to myself.
