| S.T.A.G.E. said: Paying for Xbox Live helps Microsoft bring great return to you every year. Not paying for PSN hurts Sony. They have reached a breaking point already for giving away so much in such a short amount of time with little return. They can try to make a profit off of it with little premium items, but they have such a horrible installed base that nothing ever comes from it. |
Sony is losing money like crazy...and people think that's a smart strategy...they have achieved some efficiencies in producing the ps3, but most of the gains are probably being swallowed with the redesign in the short term, and demands of psn increases...the cost will continue to balloons. Look at the cost for Blizzard to run WoW...and that's just ONE defined system to maintain. Sorry, but I'm confused why any company with commonsense would provide a service that is not sustainable? Why aren't the games the Station fee-pay...like Everquest and Galaxies...it's not like sony did have case studies to try to use before this grand experiment that is failing terribly.
