Uh, no, not really. What I said was factually correct, other than the timeframe. His statement made it sound like Sony's losing 1.1b in a day. That's equally if not more inaccurate than my previous statement of 'Over the next year'. Additionally, Sony's games division is losing nothing right now (unlike Microsofts), which would give them more leeway with shareholders to throw money at things. Whether they do or not is up to Sony and their shareholders.
Microsoft on the other hand IS losing money in their games division, AND they have major stockholders breathing down their necks. Equally important to the topic at hand. So, their purse strings aren't exactly as limitless as some people point out.
But hey, if it makes you feel better by all means, continue to discount reality, and marginalize the fine print.

deary me...
are you actually attempting to paint MS in a worse financial light than Sony? really?
He didn't make it sound like a day, he said they recently announced a 1.1bn loss.... that is factually correct.
You are tap dancing because you realised your error and now you are deflecting.
1. MS doesn't have a gaming division
2. MS is fucking loaded.

Deary you, no. Did I say that? Anywhere? Again, reading comprehension, it's a great tool to have.
He also jumped the gun, they projected a 1.1b loss for March 31st 2014, it's currently February.
You are tap dancing around the fact that I said initially that HE WAS CORRECT, but that his statement lacked detail, which was why he was being questioned. If you're not willing to follow the converation, why even bother responding?
1. Now who's tap dancing? The Xbox Division (That better?), is currently losing money.
2. Yes, MS is fucking loaded, but at the mercy of their stockholders, as is any major corporation. And unlike Japan, America has no real qualms about shedding dead weight, to please their shareholders, and increase their YoY gains. So, if the Xbox division continues to lose money, yes that could very well tie Microsoft's hands with regards to just throwing massive wads of cash at things, like they did last gen.

Did you read the recent sony news? lol
You said it was for the coming yera. he was more accurate than you. He was a few weeks off, you were more than a year off.
and no.... there isn't an xbox division either.
I suggest you leave this.

Yeah, I read the recent news. Have you read the news for the past 10 years? It's not like Sony's PC and TV divisions haven't been losing money for quite some time now. And that they've tried everything they could to absorb/right the losses without killing jobs. Something America companies have zero qualms over.
Yep, I said it was for the coming year, I also corrected myself a post later when he corrected me. So, what exactly are you arguing that I haven't already said? Nothing, you're just trying to sound clever.
Your suggestions are irrelevant unless you own this site. I said he was correct initially, tap dance around that all you like, but facts are facts. And yes, the Xbox Division exists, it's simply a sub-division of Microsoft Devices and Studios Group. More hair splitting, but whatever, I can continue adding finer detail to this all you like.
