Live = software.

Live = first party software.

Live = Elephant dung sized poop over Sony 1st party software profitability.

If you'd said games, of course it'd be different.


oh so tell me how big is that LIVE elephant dung size profit?


Ok i will explain what i think they mean.

 

Sony will make like what say 10 games a year. M$ what like 3 or something?

Know lets say that M$ sell like 13 million of them games. Sony sells like 22 million of them games.

Those games cost money to make so M$ were more profitable then Sony. Even though sony made the most revenue.

Te M$ get money for Live. And i am damb sure that keeping live going and maintaining it costs less then making a game. and it has how many subscribers? say 20 million. That is huge amounts of revenue they are getting and spending a little amount of money to get that means you are more likly to make a profit.

 

All they are saying to you is what M$ is doing has a better chance of making profit then what Sony is doing. Sony is spending more money on these games for a lesser return then what M$ is doing with live. They have a good buisness plan.

yes but all the XBOX LIVE $1b doesn't only come from subscriptions but also from game purchases,etc

PSN has all that revenue too,just not the GOLD LIVE subsciption

 

i know LIVE doesn't pretty good job at making money but he was sounding like all the money coming in is pure profit
