No it wasn't. Do you want me to show you daddies finances?


go ahead. No matter what you show though proves your story accurate. Sony was losing money from the start before valve opened their mouth. Youre just plain wrong.

They were losing money cos like if they didn't the PS3 would have sold fewer than 20M consoles LTD and then Valve would have been like "Still too ugly, get away from me". Epic price drop saved PS3 but cost Sony epic money, its a pretty simple concept really.



Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?

This is really old, they said this a long time ago. Unless they said it again?

Epic price drop? 100 dollars from a 600 dollar console is typical price drop and the only thing that allowed them to do that is epic cost savings. Didn't have anything to do with Valve either. And their first year they sold 8 million. They've been on track with price drops and cost reduction...so how would they have only sold another 12 million in 6 more years? It is a simple concept... so tell me something... I dont understand this... why cant you comprehend it?



Anything anything....
anything for monnneeyy
would lie to you
would die to you
even sell your soul to the developers



I live for the burn...and the sting of pleasure...
I live for the sword, the steel, and the gun...

too late valve, you already lost the customers. Focus on the 360.

Wasn't this obvious? Anyway valve has screwed themselves over by releasing the inferior version of the orange box.

Why can't you comprehend that 600 Euro to 400 Euro is a 33% reduction in price 6 months after release. The billions they lost after release is due to them cutting the price too fast. Had the price stayed higher for longer they would not have lost nearly as much money. They haven't had a profitable financial year for over four financial years. That doesn't look to be on track for anything.

It was 600-500 for the dearest console and 500-400 for the cheapest. 100 dollars whatever way you look at it. The PS3 started at 500 dollars for the cheapest model and it is now 300 for the cheapest model. Unless you talk about EU but we never got the 20GB model.

And it's crow no matter what way you try and put it.



You guys are really annoying, your're filtering all of your information



Fuck... I'm dead!
