I don't think I've ever been so effectively ignored...

Who?

puggsly. I just explained the Networked Services division and provided examples of why the ps3 is most likely profitable and also said that people still respect Sega as much as MS, quoting him both times. I don't care though...I think it's actually entertaining when you can explain stuff to people and they go ahead and say sony is a financial failure lol. It's great fun.


Actually I thought you were giving me examples of why PS3 is most likely NOT profitable. And it made sense.

Well the 360 has sold more units than any Sega console. In fact, it might sell more units than all the Sega consoles combined. Perhaps Sega was not the huge success some people think it was.

you mean like how I said that PS3 sold much higher than expectations was linked to profit being much higher than expectations?

How does that make sense?

Everything else was level, and the only additional cost I provided is most likely offset by additional income. 

 

Also, Sega was not a huge success...but they've been consistently noted for their talent. Just not in their console platform design.

Well you said that the PS3 might be linked to profit. But lets be honest, that's highly unlikely. And you end it with other charges not being included. Ultimately, the PS3 is still very deep in the red. They spent years losing money and they may never earn it back. Maybe if they break even in 2015, I'll change my tune and consider them a huge success. I'm sure that was Sony's goal, break even.

Good, we are in agreement that MS has a bigger following than Sega ever did. I don't know why that even came up.

Good, we are in agreement that MS has a bigger following than Sega ever did. I don't know why that even came up.

 

You misunderstand me. I said it was very likely linked, but I just have no proof. Look, if you sell lemons, apples, and oranges, and you expect to sell 10 of each, and you charge 1$ per fruit. You will make 30$.

If, unexpectedly, you sell twice the amount of lemons, and you profit/revenue goes up by double (also unexpectedly) one can safely extrapolate that the two are linked. However, they have not released any numbers, so it's hard to say with 100% confidence. Additionally, you also must understand that if they sold MORE consoles than expected at a LOSS, then profit should have been down unexpectedly. That did not happen, which is further evidence that they indeed ARE profitable. However, it is not proof, it is conjecture.

Again, like I said in the post which you've obviously only been reading half of a sentence at a time, if you're going to include costs that are now part of another division, which in all fairness are direcly linked to console sales, then you should EQUALLY do the same for profits hidden in other divisions, like BR royalties, manufacturing profits (from making PS3s), and the intangible benefit of ensuring BD as the DVD successor. The last one is probably impossible to quantify by any means, but the cost per shipment of a console is probably 4$ per console, and the profit from royalties and manufacturing is probably near equal to that. It becomes difficult once you try to include BD in the mix because that revenue stream is priceless.

You confirmed once again we don't know shit. I agree!

The only thing we can confirm... the PS3 has lost lots of money.

To that I will agree. They've lost more than they care to remember. The only silver lining there is that they never ate ALL of their previous earnings....which isn't saying much lol

The important comparisons between the PS3 and other consoles are:

1. Vs Wii
2. Vs Xbox 360
3. Vs PS2
4. Vs PS4

In the order of importance, the reverse will be true for the PS4 and its main point of comparison will be the PS3.

The N64 is two generations old. So what the PS3 does relative to the N64 in Japan doesn't mean much.

Thanks for actually replying on topic, so I will do you the respect of responding.

I disagree.

If you only focus on those then you can never put PS3 sales in Japan into their proper historical context. Besides, the only unknown out of those 4 sales comparisons is vs PS4 and PS4 doesn't exists. So none of those comparisons is really worth discussing. OK vs Wii there is perhaps some interest in seeing what the eventual end of generation gap will be, but that PS3 will be behind Wii is not really up for debate. SO again of fiarly limited interest.

What is the measure of a successful generation in term of sales for a console in Japan? How many consoles do you need to get into the homes of consumers to make it a good generation? You can't just set the benchmark as vs the best ever selling console, and the best selling console of the current generation. And how is Japan's 360 sales any sort of yardstick by which to measure success? There is certainly nothing to be gained by comparing to anything Xbox when it comes to Japan.

Success may be defined by some arbitrary number, but another way of assessing success is to measure console sales relative to past consoles. What console currently represents the border between a successful generation and an unsuccessful generation. If you sell less than console X then you've had an unsuccessful generation, if you sell more then you can count your generation as a success. Again profitability aside. Currently I'd argue that the N64 represents that border between success and, maybe not failure but certainly disappointing sales.

Perhaps when this generation is done PS3 will become the historical benchmark between what's a good level of sales and what's a not so good level of sales.

The following is NOT directed at you Twistedpixel

Rather irksome that some people went off and started yammering on about profits. I acknowledged the profitibility problems with PS3's generation and asked that people NOT focus all their attention on that; put it to one side for a single thread is all I asked. It's about as tiresome as when people used to throw RROD into every thread that looked at some positive aspect of the 360. But I guess some folks are simply too bitter towards Sony to just keep their thoughts to themselves and simply not reply; saying nothing is a valid option, I do it quite a lot, some people should try it a little more often. You know not every thought that comes into our heads is worthy of airing in public.
