It only does everything...except generate profits.

 

I wonder what people who said that the slim would make things better for Sony are saying right now?

"It only does everything...except generate profits."

ROFLOL!

As fair as I know you're capabale of being, it's sad that you would applaud such foolishness, particularly when the top company you support is notorious for taking loss after loss on their products as well.

I think the biggest difference is that they still profit as a company overall.  So they can take bigger chances.

Microsofts initial xbox 1 loss was just an investment.  They knew it wouldn't be profitable and used that platform as a springboard into the industry.

I can't speak for Heruamon, but I don't applaud such foolishness but I did think it was damnd funny. :P

Sony's PlayStation 3 loss is just an investment. They knew it wouldn't be profitable (losing $200+ per unit?) and are using the platform as a springboard for a hugely profitable PlayStation 4.

Although nothing's concrete, I tend to believe this scenario.

 

Absolute tosh!!!!!! Sony where so full of themselves they thought every PS2 owner would buy a PS3 on name alone and at a ridiculous price even though the industry for years had been talking about an entry price for any console must be $300 anything more and it will struggle. Those guys at Sony don't listen to anything IMHO. Sony have got into a really nasty habbit of being forced into panic of their own doing something that wouldn't have happened in the past. No matter how much you suck up to Sony the corruptness in the said company is from the top and no matter what they do the truth will come out
