its pretty easy to hate on sony for their miserable financial situation. theres obviously no competiton when it comes to sales anymore so gotta find something else to hate and thats sony losing tons of money and vita.

For pity sake. So like I said.... it is NOT the xbox divison, it has shit loads of other things in it. I know full well what thre E&D division is and what it includes. You clearly dont. |
Firstly, don't need to be rude, I was merely stating the xbox segment of EDD is not always profitable. Secondly, we both agree its not called the xbox division. Thirdly, we both know they don't include only Xbox but also other divisions as well. (Xbox 360 gaming and entertainment console, Kinect for Xbox 360, Xbox 360 video games, Xbox LIVE, and Xbox 360 accessories, Mediaroom (our Internet protocol television software), Skype, and Windows Phone, including related patent licensing revenue.) Nonetheless, the Xbox segment has never posted strong earnings, especially at launch (http://news.cnet.com/2100-1040-253654.html)

odd way to look at it. ps3 still in 3rd and vita being hammered into oblivion. you guys have a very strange take on things. |
Did you talk about PS3 in the beginning of the generation like you talk about Vita now? Just wonder.

Since he according to you doesnt know if it is
All bow to me the VGChartz current reigning 3DS prediction champion
Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013

July 2009 daveJ said: True the wii has a large lead now but by 2017 the most likely result will be 1. ps3 2. xbox360 3. wii <-- wii's successor launched in 2011 effectively killing sales of the wii
2009 daveJ said: The wii will not break the 50% marketshare barrier it will go below the 40% marketshare barrier though in the future. VGChartz members: Impossible, youre an idiot that knows nothing about sales

Good point. :P

Strictly speaking yes, we can't be certain how much the Xbox contributes to Microsoft's EDD because they keep moving various other devices in and out of it (Zune, Skype, Windows Phone etc)
Same was said for Sony for the past 4 years as Playstation was lumped into an even bigger company segment which changed at least once in the 4 years too. Even before (and again now) when it was the "Game" segment we have problems. Sony is a much bigger company than Nintendo and therefore don't give as much break-down between platforms as Nintendo does. It's also possible that some aspects that are required by the Game segment are not included within that division and therefore don't impact on any profits/loss made (for example the current game segment doesn't include disc production)
As such... when Sony has a dedicated "Game" segment it's easier to figure out profits/loss of playstation brand as a whole than it is for the Xbox brand, but still easier to estimate Xbox 360 profits/loss than it is for a specific PS platform (at least while MS only supports 1 platform)
Nintendo at least is easy to figure out. The only other thing they do is Hanafuda cards, which make up maybe 1% of the revenue if that.

Give it time.
Android didnt start blowing everything away, neither Xbox or many other produtcs.
Things need time but somethings not even with time but i believe in WP, it is such a Great OS and has such a great phones, would be a shame if it dies. Just like Vita wich has shitloads of Potential, developers just need to use it and Sony needs to market the Console heavy.
