your point? If you don't have anything to add to the discussion, it is not necessary to post

The point is obvious. Do see any correlation between third party support and earnings? If you do or don't what would be the critical lesson that Sony would learn about more money spent towards developing 1st party software? Can Sony learn any lessons from what happened to their competitors earnings in the same time period? If you can't think these things through yourself before quoting a post then it's not necessary to quote.

When scrolling through posts, I don't have the time to figure out what you mean. Its much easier for everyone if you state your point rather than posting profits and losses. You seem to support my opening post that sony should develop more AAA first party IP's. If thats not what you're getting at, I really don't understand. Thanks for adding to the discussion though!
