Nsanity, is it me, or do I always see you make nothing but positive threads about Microsoft, and nothing but negative threads about Sony? You definitely seem to be a fan of Microsoft, which is absolutely fine; but then I don't see the need to always make your Sony threads. I'm not trying to pick a fight, but it just seems to me like you have an agenda. Correct me if I'm wrong or am missing something.

I too have noticed this. Nothing wrong with making a lot of xbox related threads but when once in awhile he actually makes the sony thread they're ALL doom and gloom.

You know, I literally noticed this just as I was reading this thread and I noticed the dude from comicon and I was like "This guy's been at the beginning of all these 'Sony got hacked' threads".

The financial impact will be much lower than estimated as posted above. Good times to buy the stock (value-wise)

So I assume you will be buying stock?

The other thing he always does is make threads and then never make comments. So you won't be getting a reply for this...

Haha nice. Well thanks for the heads up at least.

also your original post isn't really true.  Nsanity may be a MS fan at heart but when it comes to threads he just post a heck of a lot of them whether it is good or bad for sony or MS.  right now ... well right now there just isn't any good news for sony anywhere.

Maybe he's on M$'s payroll. It's quite possible that there are employees distributed on all major websites in order tokeep the 360 popular. They might have been doing it since launch and this could very well be why 360 has 'beaten' the PS3.

:P

:p

:P

I've noticed he generally just posts news threads, hardly his opinion. Even the news is cherry-picked to be pro-MS or anti-Sony, he's still one of the more productive members of the site for doing so and you really can't accuse him of fanboyishness for posting others' reporting.

I've surprised myself a lot by how little I care about that. As long as Uncharted 3 hits this year then I couldn't care less.

Agreed.

Wow, stocks dropping quite a bit.  Keep dropping, and maybe I'll be convinced to buy some stock through them, since I really don't think this will be as bad as they say.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

$1.5 billion would be pretty nasty for the games division (even if to Sony as a whole that's relatively miniscule). At the very least this is a pretty big blow to their image

As a reference the RROD problem cost MS 1 billion, so losing 1.5 billion in a couple of weeks is going to hit hard.


MS lost way over $1b

their reserve for RROD problem was itself $1.5b and even then they allocated some more to it after the rrod problem continued

From 2007 MS Annual Report:

EDD operating loss increased primarily due to the $1.06 billion Xbox 360 charge.

If you have some other information provide a source.  That charge was a setaside to cover repairs and charges for the past and additional warranty charges going forward. As far as I know MS has never reported that they hit the top of the set aside.

they set aside $1.5b for RROD and for extended warranty at first and then when after hardware revisions the problems continued they alloacated some more

it wasn't the expense the the reserve for RROD problem and its warranty,only MS knows how much was used

i don't have time to find a link as i have exams ,google a bit and you will find it or just ignore my post if you don't want to believe

That's some huge loss.
