Big game (AAA) releases do NOT mean a next gen console is or is not coming!

To me it's all about money, they haven't recouped their investment yet (and probably won't ever in the case of Sony). So they have to stay a few more years in the market to earn some more bucks.

Just because PS4 launches, it doesn't mean PS3 stops selling or being profitable.

A PS3 at $99 to $149 in late 2013 will still be selling in the millions per year and profitable. While I'm sure Sony expect 150m+ sales of PS3 originally, selling 80m over its lifetime and ensuring bluray's success still means its job is done.

Sacrificing future marketshare for the single item would be far worse than having an overall lifetime loss on one item.

I'd love to see where you got that one from

 

You really think that after the PS2 and after Sony leaders said amazing things like "people will get two jobs to buy one" and the phrase that was something about selling 6m in first few months or similar... point is, in 2005 and 2006, they didn't think it would? I'm sure Sony was very confident that PS3 would match or beat PS2. It wasn't until late 2007 they probably realized a $600 price tag was killing it.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiit yo, wait till he finds out how much Sony was paying for the thing, minds... they will be blown

 

 

 

and lol at more PR quotes, that stuff must have really hurt you guys feelings didn't it, gawddamn shame

c'mon man
