The interesting thing is, did you have to bring up profit in the first place? Why did the issue have to be mentioned. It just seems like you're upset over the numbers, and the reception towards the numbers, which I don't understand at all. And the person you quoted isn't a one-sided, biased person. So again, your approach was uncalled for.

Actually profits and other business stuff were brought on the table as soon as someone said Sony did textbook moves. Most or all people in the thread have recognized that Sony's sales results are good, but that doesn't mean the process to get there was good, which is far from being a textbook case.

No one even mentioned profits before someone praised Sony for its strategy.

 

The person who said that though wasn't talking about profits at all. What Sony has just done was well executed, whether one wants to admit that or not. That's what he was getting at, it was understood, and shouldn't have had a big deal made out of it.

It's hard to talk about this though with people who have an admitted bias. Zucas doesn't have that, and his point was clear (and made sense), which is why I have defended it.

How was it well executed? They lost money, and they still came in well behind the Wii
