I really can't stand posts like this.

and now what does the forcast say after one of the biggest selling console launches in the history of video games!.

The well being and profitability of SCE was sacrificed to win the format war.
I don't know if it was worth it or not.

But most know if not for the massive BR costs PS3 would have spanked the 360 and out done the wii, given how well its done with all the pricing disadvantages.

Looking at how well PS4 and PS3 are doing. No need to worry about SCE.

as i said they need to lose thier tv and PC departments badly, and need to start making new movies people actually want to watch.  not sequals of shitty movies, or remakes but actual good movies.  Bravia tvs are way to expensive for the small to no advantage they give over thier compeititors, when best buy is selling a REFURBISHED 46" bravia tv 1080p and its only 60hz for 850$ and vizio makes the same size tv thats got similar specs new not refurbished for 400$ which you can see why thier tv buisness is doing horrific.  now i get vizio isnt in the same class as sony or samsung but its not like thats a high end tv.   thier pcs are in the same exact boat, overpriced when compared to similarly spec'd HPs and Toshiba's

with the best selling launch console of all time? LMAO tell you what when they go belly up then you can call me. Until then, you are nothing but a Sony hater.

Fully agree with this. Didn't the PS3 launch cost Sony billions in development, and billions more with the loss on the price cut? The amount of layoffs, stock drops, and fact that they had to sell their HQ to stay profitable shows the PS3 was an embarrassment, both financially and for gamers, since the Cell processor and divided RAM made practically every 3rd party game perform like crap.

This gen, Nintendo will have to do what Sony did last gen; make more 1st party titles. Quite simply, the only reason the PS3 sold moderately in its first few years was because of it being a relatively cheap Blu-Ray player. Sony doesn't really have anything special in regards to media this time. Everyone has blu-ray, everyone has a device to stream wifi.

nailed it

Maybe because most don't have Sony stocks??? Or maybe because they play the games not Sony finances... and Sony seems to be doing good on PS front nowadays (since 2010).

Not entrely true. They lost massive amounts of money with the PS3 (Billions)

The PSP became a emulator/hacker haven, so no money off that.

And no doubt the Vita is eating some of the PS4 sales.

In addition, the PS4 is selling what it is because of hype. Unlike the Ps1 CD, PS2 DVD, and PS3 Blu Ray capabilities, the PS4 doesn't have much general consumer interest. Considering that 1st party titles aren't selling too well at the moment, despite huge development costs, I'm shocked it still has 1st part developers.  

One successful console from Sony isn't going to turn the entire company around. Sony won't likely see a profit on the PS4 until early 2015. And even then the amount Sony is going to be making on the PS4 isn't all that impressive considering a company of its size. Saying all that - the Sony Computer Entertainment Division has been profitable (as far as I know) - though that really doesn't matter if Sony as a whole is struggling.

They just make bad decisions and even SCE, where they are profitable, they still make bad business decisions. (The Move, questionable investments in studios, the Vita, etc.)

They need to revamp their T.V. and laptop divisions to make more cost efficient products. And need to hire movie producers who have a brain to lead their film studios. The PS4 isn't going to affect them all that much.
