Yes, that was intentional. I'm fairly smart but I know there are others smarter than myself. It's kind of like being rich. There is always some richer (unless you are at the top of the Forbes list) and there is always someone smarter... Why should you care about Sony's gaming division losses? No real reason in a micro-sense, but in the macro, their losses can affect the longer-term trends in video gaming... I've been a gamer since Pong and will continue to be a gamer and I like to see innovation. Innovation comes from competition and a continuous string of health losses from the PS3 could end Sony's involvment in gaming in the future and severely limit competition. |
If there was a remote chance that Sony might pull out of gaming I would be concerned as well. But I have seen no evidence of that, in fact, gaming has become a big part of Sony's business and that Sony will attempt to correct the problem before they simply abandon everything. Sony are expanding their 1st party status which means that Sony are intending to stick around for the long term.
All that these losses will do is minimize their future risk taking and they will stick to developing much cheaper products. That's all it will do, nothing else.
