It was juvenile.

Alos, it has nothing to do with glossing over anything.  It has to do with the fact that a gamble... a massive gamble... back fired, because they didnt consider scenarios that could undo their work.  They arrogantly assumed the PS3/Blu-Ray trojan would fly at the launch price, they assumed market share, they assumed PS2 like profits. It didnt happen that way and then they had some pretty bad luck on top.  Yes they were unlucky, but you make your own luck.


And you're assuming a lot of things and putting it across as fact.

You don't know. Anyway the gaming division is turning a profit. And I keep saying it. The Yen. Its not arrogant to assume that massive changes in the strength of the Yen wouldnt happen. It wasn't much of a gamble because it wasn't likely to happen. Blu-Ray was a gamble that paid off because it won and will make them money. And if the strength of the yen didnt change so much they would of been making money years ago and the gaming division would be making a lot more of a profit now.

You Sir are just hell bent on putting Sony in a bad light with all your assuming.

Just say it "I HATE SONY!".

You'll feel better.

There isn't a gaming division..... Sony make more profit from selling insurance than from all their other divisions put together.

Again, I talk about the yen more than anyone, but I get called a hater for that for some odd reason.  There are quite a few threads I started here about the very subject.. go look.  I get the massive impact of the Yen more than anyone here...  e.g. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=137286&page=1

Blu ray wont make anywhere near the revenue for Sony that people would have you believe.

...and you Sir are just another in a long line of sony apologists... boring.

Ok cool you like talking about the yen so you should know then that sony loses are out of their control and not because they're were arrogant. Yes maybe they were more confident and maybe a bit arrogant the start of this gen but maybe thats what happens when you're on top. look at ms now. And i know there isnt a gaming division. Is it entertainment  division? but there was a break down in a recent report  that showed you the profits and loses within that division and the gaming part of it was pulling in a profit.

I might be sticking up for sony and might be boring to you but you're the oppisite. Is that not boring too?
