Really, it's controversial to think that the R&D and production costs of this would hurt Sony if this thing doesn't sell?

Stop R&D, all of it, nothing will ever sell!  

There will be no new successful technologies, right?

 

They have to make an investment somewhere.  

VR could very well be the next big thing, why not jump on it?

I meant in Sony's case particularly since they need all their new ventures to be successful going forward. Someone argued there were no real costs because it's based on existing technologies. That's pretty naive. 

To assume that every single venture any company takes, can be construed as a hit/miss in the R/D phase is pretty naive also.

WTF. I'm not talking about any company, and I'm not talking about evaluating success in the R&D phase. I'm talking about the teetering-on-the-edge of bankruptcy Sony and saying I hope that this is a success or the loss of the money spent developing and producing it might cripple them entirely.

It's naive to assume any company can predict what will be a hit, during the exploratory phase of R/D, that's all I'm saying.

It sure is. Be sure to mention that to anyone who says anything remotely like that in the future.

It'd be naive to assume a dog can write a top 20 radio hit. I am not going to be around later, so bring that up to anybody who says anything to that effect for me while I'm gone,  if you have a chance. Thanks!

I already did, I mentioned it to you, who assumed any company can guess a product will be a hit in the R/D phase.  Thought you were actually following the subject of this conversation.

 

Thanks!

You're being obtuse. I'm sorry you didn't understand what I was saying. That makes it pretty hard for you to ridicule me. You're making yourself look even worse by digging in.

Maybe you'll understand this: Stop talking to me. Bye.

 

For Literate People: At no point was I arguing that Sony could determine if this would be a hit during their R&D phase. I was saying I hope that Sony are successful with this product because of the investment into R&D and in the future manufacturing and marketing they are putting behind it, and they don't exactly have a lot of money to throw around on failures right now. If this is successful, it will help them. If not, it will contribute to their downfall. Our little friend above is so bent on trying to make me sound stupid that he is completely missing my point.

Moderated,

Who didn't expect Crytek's logo to be there? lol


Crytek's logo is there because of CryEngine, considering they are really pushing the Engine they would want to make sure it supports the latest technologies and make sure its on the best selling platform. 


Nah, I just meant that they're graphics and visual whores.
