| sales2099 said: You see MS has their division which is mostly made up of Xbox 360 and Windows Phone 7. So when we see their numbers, its pretty clear that their mostly from Xbox. You dont have people saying " They only profited because Windows Phone was carrying the Xbox brand". Thats just not done lol. cause MS isn't really a hardware company,most of their products in EDD division are start-ups and XBOX is the major portion from it. Sony has alot of products grouped in Sony on the other hand over the years has lumped the Playstation brand in with an increasing number of different products. The article I mentioned showed the division, a large division BUT included the Playstation brand nonetheless, posted hundreds of millions of losses. the division did,not the PS division inside it. only thing that could bring loss is R&D on PS division but that would be covered by profits Sony refuses to divulge purely PS numbers and continues to lump them in this large division. I speculate that its cause they can mask their PS losses in a crowd of other products so it will be hard to tell whats really losing money. alot of companies do that for various reasons like better linking of different divisions of the company.if you have been following SONY from a long time,then you will know that their divisions were so scattered.Alot of restructuring happened and thats why they came together. But they could also do that for the reasons you pointed out but SONY gives out sales numbers and PS3 has been profiting from Q12010 |
