A system does have to be profitable in order to be successful (and that is why the PS3 was a failure), but maximizing profit is not the actual purpose of a business. According to Peter Drucker, the purpose of a business is to make a customer. Which system made the most customers? The PS2. |
That is a total nonsense statement about the purpose of a business. Businesses exist to maximize the total return to shareholders (or whatever term you want to use for rhe owners) That means maximizing profit, generally in the long term. Getting customers is an important part of that, but a customer is of no value if you do not profit from them.
