| irstupid said: question. how did RROD affect other companies. there is a topic about capcom loosing hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions. Did RROD do that to them? If i was to look at RROD I would imagine all it did was annoy customers that it affected and made microsoft have to spend lots of money fixing it. i'm sure it acutally created some jobs fixing. yes psn probably created a few jobs fixing as well, BUT it affected more than just sony, unlike RROD only affected microsoft. With PSN down, companies are not making money on psn games. They still have psn employees tha thtey have to pay, or else NOT pay. So there are two cases 1. ZERO revenue expenses 2. Zero revenue and no expenses, but in the case of no expenses it means all those employees that work on their psn stuff are making zero income during the psn outage. so for a month or more all these employees are jobless. you guys have to quit being so selfish and thinking only of you. in terms of consumer, neihter is really anythign to give a shit about. "ooh dang, i have no online for a couple weeks or no xbox for a couple weeks" there is no cost to you. BUT PSN is costing other companies hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in missed revenue and in expenses. |
360 failrate is more then RROD and only RROD was covered, a guy where I worked had his 360 die in a way other then RROD and couldn't get it repaired for free so he did the towel trick traded it in and got a ps3 and once psn is back up there will be a ton of sales, alot more then normal, so it's not as much losses as people think, it's just delayed
