Basically, what everyone else said.

I think Sony's going to fight really hard to have a profit next year, hence the low-balling of the projections, and them breaking even before summer is over. Expect great sales this Holiday, plus every PS3 being sold at cost, or making a profit, and strong software sales, could catapault them into making a profit FY 08-09. Don't expect a price drop anytime soon... People are buying them for 4/500, so why drop price?

MS on the other hand...

 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.


There you go RAZ red the bright read font. I was right yet again and you were wrong.

Add in the Zunes and Games for Windows into the mix and you have yourself a nice inflated number for the 360.

are you joking?


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.


wait, microsoft lost the console war too, and they had a year headstart.

Actualy, Nintendo is planing to raise production again. 2.4m/month is the number being tossed around.

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?


Thats whats so funny... HE'S DEAD SERIOUS!!!!

He said that the Easter boost would be more than the GT5P boost.


 It was. People just don't care about GT anymore. They don't care about Playstation anymore...it's like videotape you know. Dead technology.

 

Wait...I know you. You're the guy who said PS3 would sell 1 million in EU for GT. Lulz. We at the vicarige had a good laugh about that.

Um your insane look at the numbers again. GT5P Gave Ps3 a 50k HW boost AFTER EASTER SO THE HW BOOST WAS MORE THAN EASTERS!!!

also I didnt say GT5P would sell a million but you want to know a funny thing?

IT SOLD 2.23 MILLLION WORLD WIDE!!!!!!



Squall_Leonhart on 14 May 2008

@RAZ

He said the game would sell one million, not the PS3!

Honestly how stupid can some people be? Plus, if the PS3 is 'dead technology' like you claim then what does that make the 360?? The PS3 has been outselling it every week for months now lol

 After they raised it from 2.3/month a while ago.  If we're lucky they may soon hit 2.5 per month.  They're only making these token increases to be able to say they're trying to meet demand.  The reality is that they want the Wii to stay sold out because it makes their product look even more popular than it already is.
