Sony makes RIDICULOUS comment

Sony launched the PS3 at $600.

PS3 at the time took ~$800 to make.

Losing $200 per console is a pretty big risk...

It would help your arguement if he was talking about financial risk and not risks to market to the masses.

OT:

Crazy stuff but I'm really done with going "ZOMG they said that!" cause that's how it's always worked, Sony boasts, MS boasts, and Nintendo boasts, just the way each does it is different and it's old now :

The OP isn't complaining about that. The OP is complaining because Sony said they take more risks, only that one part "got to him".

He highlighted "we're willing to take a little bit more risk than a competitor like Nintendo".

Uhm then how does your comments about the cost of the system relate to that specific gripe?  The statement was talking about they take more risk to market to the masses, the OP related it to risk involving innovation (which can relate to marketing to the masses), and you're relating it to risk involving cost which is more related to business risk than a risk marketing to masses. 

New ideas are a big risk since they're untested on the mass level, while the idea "stronger console over last gen sold for a loss" is the same old system Sony has always used, though if you're trying to debate is Sony more willing to sacrifice profits and in the long run possibly their whole gaming business (if they lose too much money corporations cut sections that lose them money), then yes Sony would trump Nintendo in business risks.
