LOGICALLY. If Sony had made 12bn dollars profit after the write off then nobody would bat an eye lid.... they may in passing mention it as a bit of a bummer... but nothing more. We can tippy toe around it all we want, Sony was taking hits left and right and then it had to take another big hit... that is a very different climate to the one in which MS makes this write off. LOGICALLY. You simply cant look at them in isolation. I'm not remotely excited or angry by the way... dont flatter yourself. |
No I didn't ignore it. I said that you could've made the point that it wasn't a huge deal. Sure it's a deal, and it's problematic. They lost money, and then lost potential profit on top of that. That's all you needed to say. But since you amped up something that a great number of users considered to be a loss on potential profits, and not an actual immediate loss, you fan the flames. There is a difference in having 10$ and losing 7$ than having 10$ and losing 3$ with the condition that the next 10$ profit wouldn't be tax free. You made the case that it was losing 7$. So expect people to think of you as a subjective poster.
That's all I'm saying.
