And as I said before, the PS3 is a good console. It is fun to play, but a financial failure.
It's going to take a long time to determine this.
How successful will the PS3 be in the future regarding game sales? How much of an impact will the PS3 have on Sony's sales overall, for example sales of additional HDTVs, Blu-Ray movies, surround sound audio sets, etc. Or would the HD movie war have costed Sony more without the PS3, will the PS3 have additional revenue from things like PlayTV and other still under development projects, etc?
That's a long term question. That the PS3 would require a lot of investments from Sony the first years on the market was already a given.
Don't you see the timing for coming to conclusions just isn't right and there are many different factors involved?
HD DVD was a financial failure and so was the original XBox, we can agree on this as they are of no effect today anymore, but not the PS3.
