all that money and they still finish third this gen :( , maybe next gen will be better :D


Good point.  I guess they have all that money because they dont just throw money away to buy market share in some vane attempt to win some phoney war.

It works... some other companies should try it and maybe they too would have more robust companies.

 

This.

1 set of fans are backing a horse that could drop any minute.

The other will support guarenteed. 2 very different business models. 1 works 1 gets by.

So Playstation fans should stop supporting Sony and the games they make, even though they like them more, just because Sonys financials aren't as good as Microsofts, or what is the message you are trying to convey with that post?

No they shouldnt. But Sony arent being practical in all areas of their profit margins. Maybe they should have priced PS4 with The One. It seems like Sony wouldnt mind losing money to gain marketshare. Thing is they arent to great financially right now. They need to make a good profit.

Yeah... I think we should let Sony worry about their financial situation and not act like we behind our computer screen know any better how they should price their product.

Also people have been saying that Sony is close to dropping out of the console race for about 7 years now and I don't see any indication of that happening any time soon.

And finally, just to throw in my five cents, I think Sony should not have priced the PS4 at 500$. The short time profit they possibly could have made with that, would have easily been countered by raised expenses in other departments and lower unit sold, for example they might have needed to put more stuff in the box to counter the xbox that includes kinect and they sure as hell would need to pay even more for marketing because let's face it a 100$ price different is a pretty damn effective marketing tool.
