they are not facts

the division includes VAIO, PS & Walkman

we can't say PS3 is dragging down the division, if you do that is HATE

no-ones trying to turn this into a fan argument.....all I'm saying is that the losses were expected.....the high shipments, were not

& haters are changing their prioritites on what to hate.....that can be clearly seen

This is vg chartz....a sales site, don't call people out for looking mainly at shipments ......thats what most of us are interested in here, not profits, which were we knew were gonna go down anyway.

looking at your point of view, even CURRENt PS3 sales being high is a bad thing as they will be loosing more than if it sold at 360 levels right now.....where must we draw the line?

Many good points man, although kowenicki has made good ones too. The whole situaion is a double-edged sword though. If the PS3 sells well, they lose money, if it doesn't, they lose marketshare.  I can see why people are so wrapped in despair. However, I do believe there are some hypocritical things being said in here, although again, not from kowenicki. The goalpost being moved, I won't even argue against that, as that is where I mainly agree with you. But truth be told, these losses are grim, but they had to drop that price, they knew that.

This is the nature of things for Sony though, they have to deal with this after the PS3's initially disastrous beginning (which Sony themselves are 100% to blame). Luckily for the gamer though, they are shipping plenty of units along with providing a FAR healthier line-up. That will pay off in the end IMO.

great summarisation I agree
