@ Mr Puggsly

Make back all lost, true. Never be profitable, false. They are currently making money on the hardware.

The little they make off consoles now will not cover their losses. Never will. Sony may go back to losing money if a price cut happens in the near future.

If the 360 gets a price cut next year, I think the PS3 will follow. But MS may be happy with their current profits and Sony won't have to do a price cut.

Once again, I strictly stated they will never make back the amount they lost, just as Microsoft didn't with the original Xbox. However, you said the system will never be profitable, which is false.

Whatever happens next year is a wait and see game.

Boy, I sure love arguing semantics!

Okay, the PS3 is profitable. It'll be remembered as a success because it made money.

You're good at making nothnig out of, well......nothing. Nobody said it was doing good, will be remembered as a success, or anything like that. Can you not accept that you made a mistake and move on?

No, I'll continue to say the PS3 is unprofitable. And I'll elaborate to the people who make the mistake you did.

Wasn't DaO developed with PS3 as main console version, and X360 as a port?


Nope it was developed as PC game and then ported to consoles.


No one reads what I wrote? I said main console version, with overhead point of view, better textures... Except for the framerate problems, it was a better version than the X360 one.

I believe you are correct,  but there is one other issue it had,  the damn trophy problems.  Although I have heard the achievements were buggy as well.   Bioware still owes me a platinum trophy

I know I said I was done, but where did I make a mistake?

Your quote: "PS3 will never be profitable".

My response: "Though it'll never recoup all of it's losses, it's currently making money".

 

Definitions of profitable: producing a profit

Where's my mistake?

You responded to this... "The PS3 will never be profitable." This discussion never had anything to do with consoles themsevles being sold at a profit. I talking the PS3 brand.

Hence, the PS3 brand will always be in the red and it will never profit because of that.

You cite two games that are very popular in the American Market where the 360 has almost double the user base of the ps3, plus bioshock is a late port.   I think the ps3 does very well in selling games, why don't you look at multi plat games like final fantasy XIII or devil may cry?  



cause those 2 games are PS3 driven. it's there home, but better comparisons could have been done.

But in that sense, I agreed with, I said it would never recoup all of it;s losses. But there's a difference between never making profit and recouping losses. That's all I was trying to tell you.

I'm not denying they'll recoup some losses. I'm just saying the brand as a whole is unprofitable.

I can say the PS3 is unprofitable because it isn't. But yeah, if I said PS3 consoles will never be proftiable. That would be wrong.

This is one of the dumbest arguments I've ever seen.

Why don't we consider sales of Burnout Paradise and Batman Arkham Asylum? O wait that would mean 360 owners need to buy more games.

I understand that, I just popped out 2 multiplat games that I knew off the top of my head that had sold more on the ps3.  The point being that not all multi plat games sell more on the 360.

i figured and thats a great point. Red dead Redemption has just started to sell better on PS3 (41,000)then on 360 (38,000) with about a 1m unit gap in-favor of 360.

but once again i agree better comparisons could be made.
