First off Sales2099 is the only one looking at this from a business persepective.  Leo is taking this from a bias perspective, and  Jay you just, idk.   Everything Sales2099 has said that I've read is correct.  Yes Madden is huge btw why do you guys think they sale it every year.  Can you imagine how much profits they are getting out of a game that barely has to update each year?   

sales2099 is GeneralMLD. Enough said... 

Halo/Gears/Forza is way bigger than Sony's first party.  I don't even know why this is being argued.  If you're going to argue let's look at the numbers. These are how much each franchise has sold this gen

Gran Turismo is bigger than all of those franchises, and Gears isnt exactly first party. 

 

Halo-28.99m and with Halo 4 that's going to increase Not really all that impresssive when you account the fact that H4 will be a 5th Halo game this gen, or were you counting all Halo games since Xbox, which makes this even less impressive?

Gears of War-18.04m Fair enough, I'll give you this one

Forza-11.45m That's actually quite poor, especially when compared to Gran Turismo and the fact that it had 3 games this gen and was heavly bundled

Total-58.48

 

Uncharted-14.57m Very good fir a new IP this gen

Gran Turismo-7.87m Only 1 gam this gen

God of War-7.53mOnly 1 actuall new game this gen

Total-29.97

 

Halo alone almost matches the totals for all three of Sony's exclusives.  With halo 4 it will pass all three. 

Same can be said for Gran Turismo, am I right?

And Leo, so you said PSN is the best online service?  XBL has much more  respect for multiple reasons but I know what you're going to say.  FREE, am I correct.  Sorry but Steam is 10x better than PSN and it's also free.

This is a matter of taste, but much more respect? I've never heard this one before. And guess what? PS3 also has Steam !!! 

 

If you all really think it's ok for a company to go from making an insane amount of profits with the PS2 to losing billions with the ps3 you have a problem.  Graphics is not even noticeable between X360 and PS3, play pc if you wanna a difference.  600 dollars was a huge mistake just like the Vita is making a huge mistake with making memory cards over priced and an expensive portable console.  Get rid of your bias opinions, Sales2099 is the only one correct here so I don't understand the argument here.  Please explain.

Dont act like Microsoft was all rainbows and roses either. They were bleading billions with original Xbox and 360 as well all up until 2009. And gaming division was actually one of the more profitable/less problematic divisions in Sony. They themselves said that they were gonna rely more on thier gaming and music divisions more in the future. Its not like PS3 or just Playstation alone are responsible for Sony's losses. There are millions more factors to add. PS3 itself has been profitable since 2010. And yes I agree, 600 dollars was a mistake, but so was RROD
