Do you live in an alternate universe where losing half of your market share and over $5bn due to the PS3 doesn't matter? Sony corporation is worth (market cap) half of what it was only 1 year ago, a fifth of what it was just a few years ago... there are many reasons for that and the performance of the PS3 is one of them |
past performance is one of them, if this thread was made in 07/08 you'd have a leg to stand on, but as it stands now PS3 is doing better than the 360 and wii
and....... I swear I've said this before but, what has Sony losing money mean anything negative about the ps3, if this generation is any indication the more the company made in profit the less they're platform was supported, MS: hey we're making so much money on live, lets reward our subscribers.........by INCREASING the price, and Nintendo...well they're just downright insulting, made more profit in one year than Sony did in the ENTIRE ps2 generation and only one 1 high profile exclusive, that's just sad. I mean your sentiment is one of why am I not mad I can't brag about Sony's financials just for the sake of bragging about their financial. I'm a gamer first and foremost, games are what I care about, and I don't where you've been, but as of late Sony has invested in and probably made more games than Nintendo and Microsoft combined
Sorry but I can't play profits nor can I play market share, if you asked anybody last gen what made the PS2 so awesome it was, how much it sold and how much money it made wouldn't be anywhere on that list and it killed it's competition. Now I understand why a Nintendo and Microsoft fan would argue differently but to me games are what matter in this industry, and judging the ps3 as a games console which is what it is, it's a success. You DON'T have to be number one, nor do you have to sell a billion units to be successful, all you have to do is what you set out to do, and on that note, the PS3 is a success, it's a brilliant games console and currently outperforming both of it's competitors, and that is success.
P.S. so what it didn't sell as much as the ps2, here's a fun fact NO ONE sold as much as the ps2, so either Sony dominates or no one does
