This is really Bizarro world! I'm sure of it. I know this is an Xbox One thread but do I got a PS3 with a free copy of MGS4, and free download for PAIN for about $100 less than MSRP AND a free $100 gift card. That console was being sold at a loss of about $200 (according to sources at the time) AT LAUNCH!! Was it embarrassing, then? Because I certainly wasn't embarrassed when I walked out of the store at midnight with my new 80GB PS3!


uuuhh yes it was emabarassing then. Have you been living under a rock? The PS3's issues have been well documented and stated several times over the last 7-8 years.

Of course you didn't feel embarassed why would you? You don't run Sony so why would you feel embarassed about thier screw ups? From your post I can understand why the reality we live in would seem bizare to you.

I hope you're happy.  You made me cry. :(

Anyway,here's the OP I was replying to:

I don't want to use the word "embarrassing" but didn't they just bundle a game with the system last month. I don't understand. Why not give it time? How much are they losing per console sold? Are they losing money per console sold? What do investors think about this?

 

What was the original price of WiiU? Price-cuts?

What was the original price of Dreamcast? How many price-cuts?

He used the word "embarrassing" and made it seem as if the Xbox One's price cut for the holidays was something unusual.  He made it seem like losing money on each console was something abnormal.  And how many bundles did the PS3 have?  They bundled the thing with everything!!  It happens.  Sony/PS3 fans should know this.  How soon, they forget.
