The Ps3 basically wiped out SEIs profits of the Ps1, 2 and PSP. It only recovered because Sony heavily subsidized it after it's horrible launch. The cell processor was more of a pain to develop for, so much so most Devs were willing to nearly hand over the 3rd party market to xbox exclusivly. It was a disaster. |
Yeah i don't get it. Surely PS3 is a bigger bomb than the Wii U if it led Sony to lose billions more than Nintendo lost from the Wii U? The same way a game that lose more money is a bigger bomb than a game that lost less money?
Sony gambled that they were so dominant that the PS3 would sell more than the PS2, that gamble was a disaster and wiped away all the profits they had earned from gaming previously.
