Not sure I should respond to either of you. No one has answered my question yet they get all flustered and blustered when they claim I haven't answered their question.

Why is the PS3 NOT a failure. Some one tell me. Why should I believe it isn't when I have no reason too.

Also, you all have been saying "Oh, you have not facts. You are speculating." Well, did anyone care to look it up?


so risk takers are failures. i see. i understand loud and clear. and looking it up is your job when you make the claims you've been making. all three have failed in one way or another. thats just the way this bussiness is. i say they all failed sence i haft to have more then one console to get the best of all worlds for every genre of gamimg. i don't see failure like most cause i'd like to stay positive about things. failure is how you preceive it. any company that fail's is no longer a company, or they make deals, get bought out, or mirge with other companies.

 

im still having troble wondering how a console thats starting to make a profit, is out selling it's closes comp in all but one country, and can afford to take risk on new IP's every yr it's been on the market is failing?

if it's selling and still on the market it's succeful. yes that would include the 6th gen gamecube because it never left the market.

First, too both of you: I don't think I need to waste my time looking up an old article. It took 10 seconds and I think you guys are big enough to use Google. I also hate the whole philosophy everyone is pulling where if there isn't evidence, it must not be true. Basic understanding of cost would have told you that lowering the price also lowers your profitability. That's just common sense.

Also, how does that many any sence?

  • PS3 was a risk? A risk is where there is a good probability you'll fail. Just becuase you did fail, doesn't mean it was a risk. The Wii was a risk becuase something like that had never been done before. The PS3 was not becuase everyone agreed that that was the progresion of consoles. They just failed.
  • How is a shortage a success? Shortages can mean you didn't supply enough. Shortages can mean your company is so unorganized that you can manage to get units to the retailer. Nintendo had a shortage becuase their consoles were in unbelivable high demand. Sony just can't get units into the store (it's sales are under both the 360 and Wii where Wii was, again, above the other two).
  • It just started making a profit, so it is now a success? How is this even rational. "All right guys. We just turned a profit on our product after 3 and a half years of extrordinary losses. If that is successful, I don't want to know what a failure is.
  • And now that you have to buy all three (i.e. Competition) they are failures. What?
  • A gambler can always take risk, even after he's lost all of his money. Even failures can take risk. In fact, this is the only way to win a game of poker. The winning and losing players have to take risk. Does that mean the losers never take risk?

Soom of this is unbeleivable. This is "I have a very positive outlook, so nothing is a failure. Even the billion dollar loser who just keeps losing and losing.

So I'll ask again. How is the PS3 not a failure.
