Do you lol.  As i remember all but finencials were weak even movies.  

New hardware launch always is at a cost, everything makes money when sold.  Being profitable is another story. 

Yes I do.

 

Where's your source? Or don't bother actually. Most people who never looked at Sony's reports say the same thing: that all of Sony is teh doomeds.

 

"GT6 poured hundredths of million of dollars int" bringing 100s of million $ revenue is a different thing than making 100s of million $ profit. And no I don't think GT6 even brought in 100s of million $ revenue at launch considering it might not have sold more than a million which is less than $40-50M profit after subtracting costs. Only sold 300K in the US which is 25% of what GT5 managed.

In the UK sold 5 times lower than GT5

Considering it debuted at 20-25% of GT5 I doubt the game has cracked 2-3M worldwide.

And wheres the profits ?

You doubting means what exactly ? nothing.

GT6 was easy money to them at a time they were stuggling.  It released lacking any major marketing and sold millions.

GT5 japan sales .81m, GT6 500k - Only market we have legitamte sales. 

So do basic math home boy, even if GT6 did anyhere near even half the sales of its predecessor thats about 5 million in sales.

By the way using US numbers, you might want to add GT6 recived NO tv marketing there.  Guess why, its costs.
