@theprof00: When you call it a sacrifice, you make it look like Sony was planning to lose these billions even after 4 years of launching the PS3. It's spin and no one is buying it.
@LordChris: You just said without the PS3 SCE would have gone bust. Do you realize how distorted that statement is? No one is suggesting they shouldn't have made the PS3. But clearly they made wrong decisions, which they're reversing now, but what's done is done.

Yes, Sony made a system which had features nobody was asking for, charging more than any console company has ever asked for, ON TOP of losing more than 250$ per console at launch despite the exorbitant price.
They did expect to lose money on it, and a lot of it.
EDIT: PS it's only been three years not four.
And yes, everyone is buying it, the ps3 that is. Good luck continuing to subtly troll sony like you just did.

You're spinning things once again, and evading my point. Surely Sony expected to lose some money initially, but after 4 years, and as much as they've lost? I don't believe you actually think that.
I didn't mean no one's buying the PS3. I said no one's buying your far-fetched assertion that Sony expected all these losses.
You are the one who's trolling here. Either that or you're really naive for those beliefs.

Surely you are trying to annoy me...
What exactly is your point? Because I definitely did respond to the point in your post.
Sony expected to lose money on the ps3 because it costed roughly 870$ at launch, and still costs them anywhere from 40-80$ more than the price of the machine, even after 3 years.
