Let's not call my numbers (50 mill X360 and 60 mill PS3) facts, let's call them my opinion. That's right, opinions =/= facts, remember that. 2. MS Entertainment division will survive if it continues to show profit. You know that too. Microsoft's Entertainment division will probably always survive, but if they can't profit past the initial investment for building and marketing their consoles, they'll have to find ways to profit some way else... you know what that means don't you? 3. So far Sony has lost money on PS3 like MS has on X360. Your argument sucks. Being first in a gen rocks. You're confused. My arguement wasn't that MS/Sony loses money whenever they make a console, that's obvious. The point is that each console has to be able to sustain a long life cycle in order for them to really profit far past their initial costs. Both sony's and MSoft's business model is to profit by royalties, services and reducing manufacturing price. So you're basically arguing that MS is apparently going to profit by focusing on rushing out another console before everyone else while Sony sits there and continue to profit with the PS3. And also, being first to a gen doesn't mean anything, as a matter of fact leading off a generation usually results in anything but first place. Which console ended up winning? Saturn = no, Dreamcast = no, Xbox360 = ....yes? no. 4. Okay, Wii is number one. I never disputed that. And yes Playstation as a brand is still bigger than Xbox thanks to the PSPS and overlap from PS2 into this gen, but if you pick out PS3 (which is the Playstation representative of this gen) and match it against the X360 the PR strength or "hipness" factor is about equal. Okay, so a second ago, you say that the Xbox brand is as popular ("hip") as the PS brand and now it's not true? News flash buddy, the PS2 is still selling well and the PSP sales has been surging as of late. And now you're saying that you're only counting the PS3 to represent the entire PS brand? That's called MSSMS my friend, way to backtread. 6. So Sony messed up pricing and marketing? Yeah, I know too that Sony sucks. Yet no matter how you spin things MS and XBOX will most likely use the early gen advantage in next gen. Yes, the PS3 is catching up the X360 currently, but fact is that the X360 has sold 18.7 million consoles and the PS3 only 12.4 million. So what do you say to that? Epic fail for the PS3. My argument was about MS catching up generation for generation, and that's something no one can deny. *sigh*. Ok so based off of your opinion the PS3 is "epic fail" and Sony "sucks", yet Sony is beating the 360 with a far less game library, much more expensive pricing and horrible start, week by week in all the regions... I just can't figure out your fanboy logic, one moment you say the PS3 will outsell the 360 by 10 million and the next moment the PS3 is epic fail? c'mon you could do better than that. Also your argument is horrible and have no realistic base behind it. You are assuming that the next Xbox consoles will only increasingly get better and better while assuming that Playstation consoles will fall off the planet and continue to dwindle down forever based on market trends (something that you have no idea about)....again, you must be infected with MSSMS, the only cure i know of is by sticking your foot in your mouth and stop posting, it's the only way. Yes, MS hasn't been as good as Sony as promoting the "hipness" factor of Xbox compared to PS (and probably have less cost for advertising than Sony). But apparently MS have a different strategy. To let the games talk for themselves. So that whole MS being as "hip" as Sony statement you've made is out the window now? Backtreading again i see. This time you brought some proofless excuses with you. GJ. Sony fanboys probably have nothing to do but to hang around forums, while X360 fans are busy gaming. TBH. Here are the Xbox360 games I've played recently... Bully:SE. Here are the PS3 games I've been playing recently... HSG, GT5P, MGO. Everything else is Multiplatform, so that's another false assumption made by you, comment disregarded. Either way, aren't you a Xboxfan? If so, why do you spend so much time spinning negative facts to the Xbox's favor? |
