Europe in a goldmine for Sony, much bigger than NA now. Really impressive. |
They could try harder in NA though. Why not dominate both?

Probably to maximize the profit margin. Sony is going through hard times at the moment.
|
Yeah in fact, nobody talks about it but Sony is going to lose 2.1 billions this year, and on December 2013 their probability to go bankrupt by December 2015 was a 78.5%, against the 22% of Nintendo and the 1.4% of Microsoft, so ps4 is the winner of the generation yeah, but Sony is being the big loser by far.

There is a lot that can be done before a company go bankrupt. The majority of loss came from Sony Mobile division as a goodwill payment to ensure and improved the mobile business. They are trying new strategy that focuses on profit rather than the market share of smartphones. If that doesn't work they gonna have to let go on mobile business I guess. While these are hard times indeed, there is no need to make things look much worse than they are.

Yes, there´s no need to make things look worse than they are, but I´m really tired of read so many threads and comentaries about Nintendo getting doomed when it´s actually Sony the nearest to crash by far. And yes, i don´t think they´re going to bankrupt, they will change it´s business model in some way, but the fact is that ps3 make them lose so much money (first year they were selling a 900$ console for 600), than even great ps4 sales are not enoght to make profit. Even Nintendo is making good profit with WiiU having shitty numbres. Anyways, that´s out of topic.

Even if Sony goes bankrupt the Playstation brand is profitable it will probably survive, Nintendo on the other hand has no more place in the home console business even if they have billions in the bank.
