I think fanboys in general over-analyze sunk costs.  Executives / investors view them differently than fanboys do.

 

The fact remains that Sony went from being down in the dumps at the beginning of the gen to being the #1 selling home console (on a weekly basis) at the end of the generation.  No console has ever done that.


Actually investors, do look at past ROI. Namely if investment for new project is being evaluated. Given i think it will take more then one negative ROI in the playstation brand, to mean anything. 

Anyways I'm out for sushi, I had fun arguing, see ya people.


Yes, ROI is a big part of how successful a company is but not the only measure. It gets too complicated to go into all that and I need to be off but remember one thing, the true success of PS3 - or any console - can only be truly measure at it's end, not it's mid-life.

Enjoy your sushi.
