If the OP would have stated that Sony as a business, making smart decisions to prepare their next console on some good moves and smart choices I will definitely agree. Because of the competition, Sony had to rethink their business and how they do business. They have take the strenghts of their competitors and made them strengths of their own while also bring some good features to their services like Plus. Sony mentality on Indie developers have changed and their thought process on giving the people who will make you successful (Developers) have changed. Sony as a company I would say made a great comeback. The PS3, well like some one said, If Sony is willing to pay billions of dollars to gain 2nd place, I am sure MS and Nintendo is more than willing to let Sony do that again. The winners are still Nintendo and MS. MS turend around and became a national powerhouse, and Nintendo reclaimed heir crown. This Gen everything starts over again and it appears before MS even get their product on the market, Sony fans are already proclaiming a win when this generation hasn't begun. This will not be a sprint but a marathon and all parties are pretty much starting at the same time. |
Reading the OP, I would say financials are completely irrelevent to his topic. And even then, the Playstation division went from losing billions annually to making profits similar to what they used to make during the PS2 era (source). Is that not a comeback?
