PlayStation Home Actually Makes a Profit

That article is the most misleading bunch of BS I ever saw. Almost as bad as asking Sony themselves if Home was a failure. I wouldn't even waste my time on that article.

Care to explain why you think its bullshit?  lol

I really don't care to, because it should be obvious why the article is BS. But I think I have 5 min of my life to waste - better here than on Home.

1) The article has done no indipendent research to find out whether Home really is profitable or the biggest Sony flop ever. The article instead relies on a quote from the SONY HOME DIRECTOR! I mean that is like asking Al-Qaeda if they are a terrorist organisation - you're always going to get a biased view. So, of course the director of Home is going to say only good things about his product.

Plus I trust nothng that comes out of Sony themselves, like the PS3 having 4k resolution and 2 HDMI ports lol Or that the Vita is a succes, after having piss poor launch sales and still can't catch itself? Nothing out of Sony is the truth.

2) Then the guy give some random junk and says "We've released over 5,000 virtual items on the platform, and we know that once those items reach maturity, they are profitable. So you see us creating a tremendous amount of virtual items, because it is such a high margin business for us to be in." Nowhere in that load monkey spin did the guy say they sold anything. What does he mean by "reach maturity", is he talking about teenagers, stocks, apples, breasts, what? Did they ever reach maturity? Plus since when does being in a "high margin busineess" equate to you making any money or being profitable? This just a load of speculative BS. Plus who says that selling trinkets in Home is a high margin business? Did Donald Trump say so, or maybe Warren Buffett?

Pure Sony spin and BS and that is why I think the whole article is BS.
