Didn't MS put the RRoD billion dollars and put it under something not gaming to make their gaming division look more profitable?

 Nope, not remotely. You must not have a grasp of this sort of thing. Do you have a parent of adult who could explain it to you?

OR does it mean NO Price Drop?

Whatever it means its VERY stupid of SONY to predict only a 760K increase in sales when this years PS3 sales have been outselling last years ALMOST by 100K on a weekly basis..

What are your thoughts??


Either no price drop or a very small one. Now you know why MS hasn't played it's big price drop yet, they've been waiting for this to happen...to strike at the time when Sony can't react.

Sony has to stop these losses somehow and you can't do that with price drops, MS did the same last year at the cost of a bit of market share and the profit is now rolling in just in time to price drop this holiday and take PS3 to the cleaners.


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

an 80 mil profit with so many things included in the mix and the money is flowing in?


$623 million in this fiscal year dumb dumb

It's already beaten 4 out of 8 of the PS2's years in terms of profitability...if they make $30 million in profit for next quarter, they'll have surpassed another 2 years.

It's already one of the most profitable quarters any console maker has ever had (it's already beat a few Nintendo years too) that they can do that and have doomed PS3 to last place this gen is even more impressive.


I really like that dumb dumb comment I really do. But that still doesnt change the fact.... THAT THATS NOT FROM THE 360!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!1!!!11!1!!1

Its fome Zunes and many other things.

Also I was more or less laughing at the bolded part.


 LOL Zunes? Keep telling yourself that. Yeah and I bet Games for Windows brought in way more than Halo 3. LULZ

 

I too will be laughing at the bolded part when it happens. Sony coming last is the best thing to happen in gaming since Microsoft invented the dual analogue stick.

 

It's a new golden age. 


are you joking?

If some of the above people are correct I must say I am ASHAMED of SONY

what a CHEAP move..."oh we'll predict it low n then raise it later to make Ps3 look like its pwning"

 I agree it's cheap, but sadly that's the way this world works.  Just remember though that it's not just Sony doing stuff like that.  MS took the huge RRoD hit a year or so ago to be able to report profits now, and Nintendo isn't even trying to raise production enough to satisfy demand because the longer their console is sold out the better they look.  

 Reasons like these are why I never trust official statements.  I want to see audited financial statements beforeI believe anything from a large company.

PS3 will sell at least 12 million this year, possibly even 14-15 million (I had better make some calculations on that though). They just don't want to lower their numbers this time, altough it still seems very low.

It comes with the territory. Now that PS3 has lost the console war, the winners get to re-write history. Like when People used to say Sony invented rumble....only better.

It's better to lowball these figures than shoot for the moon and barely touch the clouds imo.



TheBigFatJ on 14 May 2008

Sony originally announced it would sell 14.5 million units last fiscal year.  Only professional analysts and Sony fanboys believed them.
