| Dolla Dolla said: I was quite surprised to hear about the profits Sony gained from the PS2 era. You'd think with over 100 million consoles sold, they'd have been pouring in billions upon billions of dollars. But, not so. I think they only saw 2 or 3 billion in profit. Revenue was through the roof, probably upwards of 25 to 35 billion dollars, but profit was so small in comparison. Taking a loss on hardware seems to be lunacy. If Nintendo had half the install pase the PS2 did, their profits would've been disgustingly high. |
Now you know the difference between the grizzled veteran and the paper tiger. Sony HAD to dominate just to exist in this biz. This is why their performance with the PS3 is very troubling for their future in this business.
Yeah I know. More doom and gloom. I'm sorry but I refuse to put my head in the sand just because I don't like the news coming my way. I take my truth like some folks take their coffee. Straight up.
