When it comes to consoles, so far the PS3 has been the only exception to this rule. And even that will change in a couple of years time.


Um, how will it change when it sells only 40k a week? Wii won last gen in profits and consoles sold.


Even if PS3>Wii, i dont think it wins solely on the fact of wats important to the company themselves... $$$$$$$$. PS3 can sell 125mil, it still loses only cuz of how much Sony lost while Nintendo profited a shit ton.

I dont have numbers, would be cool to compare

1 note.

n a sense all 3 took losses last gen. it's how they started out when the consoles launched. while a lose is a lose, it's not a losee cuz of wht u've failed to make back. it's a lose because Sony didn't come n first place.



I might of misread this so correct me if im wrong! Ok, I think its good wat ps3 sold but i think a company rather have sold 30mil HW and make huge profits off of software and no losses on Hardware than that wat sony did with ps3 last gen.

u my friend r right, but u know this business. u take your victories where u can, and all 3 did. MS stuck to it's shooters, Ninty made a casual console, and while Ninty did create innovative ways to play games with classic characters. Sony made the innovative games, and closed a 9-7 (it's been a while i'm not around much these days so i can't remeber how big the gap was lol) gap to just barely take second place and lose the 7th gen war n more ways then 1.

financial lose

lose 1st place

wasn't the lead dev. console

lost exclusive parners. infact Sony was the only console maker to lose exclusive partners i think.

o yea, had crappyer ports games.

they also lost the 3rd party graphic's war. and the software sales war? yea Sony lost more then the other 2, but the other 2 didn't learn from Sonys mistakes lol.

Sony wanted the market share, which is all i got from thier actions. it seems to me that the console maker with the biggest ego losses.
