This was when the PS3 was doing poorly and had a very high price tag. He stated that the 'PS3 could not make back the money that it had lost' for as long as he lived (he still lives btw). A few days ago, Tretton stated that if the PS3 sold 80million, it would be regarded as a 'great' success (http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2013/11/22/jack-tretton-ps3-would-be-a-great-success-if-it-ended-at-80-million-units-sold/). So the question I want to ask you is do you think that the PS3 as a success? Also do you believe that Sony has recouped the majority, if not all, of its losses with the PS3? |
No system is a success if it failed to make money. If MS wanted to, they could give away 360s to everyone on this planet for free, that wouldnt make it successful if theres no profit.
Sony also lost heaps of the Market share to Nintendo and Xbox considering they went from 1st to last with PS2 to PS3.
