Sorry dude, in my BBA and MBA, they didn't teach the finance theory that stated, lose 50% guaranteed market share with the hope that you might make money somewhere else.

Now, it's cool that you believe what you believe, but don't quote "finance theory" as if that is some golden pass.  Unless you are calling out a specific theory, and then please, share that.

Sony's Playstation division was long the bread winner of the Sony family and helped support thier failing divisions in times of need, that's pretty evident from previous annual reports.

Now I agree they wanted another arm of thier company to perform well and having a stake in the format winner is a boon for them.  I simply do not agree that they ever thought they would lose so much market share in the process.

I have to agree with this.

You truly believe Sony thought that by launching a $600 console they would catch the industry by storm and expect monumental sales? O_o

They thought a $600 console would blow past a $250 and a $400 console?

 

Maybe you're right, but I really have my doubts.

They didn't think they would do well with a $600 PS3. They just thought they would do better than they ended up doing.

It's for the best that they didn't, of course. Less money lost.

Do we know this or do we assume this because of PS2 success?

"People will think 'I will work more hours to buy one'"

"The first five million will come without any games" (or some such thing)
