| Dodece said: @mibauokami Sony has insinuated that they were not happy with what transpired financially, and do not intend to have a repeat of what happened this generation. Where they felt compelled to loss lead into a massive money pit. That said they are not exactly going to be acting in a vacuum. If the other two competitors through their choices move the field then Sony may be compelled to oblige. So in the final analysis instead of the hypothetical sale now, it could be a real sale just prior to the next launch, or after the next launch depending on what happens. |
If they were intent to not repeat the last generation why are they going to sell the Vita at a loss? They just seem to love to put so much hardware/specs into their machines now that they have to sell them at a loss to be price competitive. Selling systems for a loss isn't the smartest business move and especially if you are selling at a loss and still out of most consumers price range (PS3 launch). The "hardcore" graphic whores seem to be leading Microsoft and Sony to failure. If they always demand the latest specs how can these companies survive by selling their systems at a loss just so the average consumer might buy into it. Sony used to be able to take huge losses due to their capital but not anymore.
To make one more point even during PS2 heyday Nintendo was making more profit than Sony (although Nintendo had handheld sales while Sony didn't at that time).
