IT IS POSSIBLE

@MikeB: Of course it's all about stisfying the customers. What's a 3 billion loss? Nah it's nothing, probably they are celebrating this loss because the PS3 brought some old gamers back to console gaming.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Sony is fine, they trippled their profits last fiscal year.

PS3 vs 360 sales

@ BengaBenga

Also I'm really curious about what will happen when Microsoft launches its new console not one but say 3 year ahead of PS4.


If their console is better specced than the PS3 would be at the time it will be more expensive. The PS3 will have a great install base advantage, probably a pricing advantage (unless they try a Wii stunt) as well as a much bigger games library.

A high end 100% PS3 compatible PS4 can co-exist with a cheap slimline PS3. It would be a bit like a slower selling XBox 360 Elite existing next to lower specced 360s.

@MikeB: They could have made more than that, but all they got to blame is their inefficient gaming division. A division that brings losses and stirs the company, for example having to fire Ken Kutaragi, is not good for the company.

Allowing Nintendo to become bigger than them is probably even worse. Money is not there to throw around like you imply. There's a lot of investors, shareholders and researching companies that would like to see PS3 payback all their investments, rather than having promises of an uncertain future.

It's a big Ego hit that Nintendo is now worth more then Sony despite Nintendo only doing one thing.

It shouldn't really effect them though aside from the minor hurt in pride that they weren't the ones to have the huge market cap rise to take on the biggest boys in the Japanese industry.

If Wii can't do it, or for any matter DS, then I can't see PS3 doing it.

If there is gonna be a price drop + introduction of 80 GB in europe/others then it MIGHT but other than that I honestly don't see any gaming machine priced that high to sell that much in a month.

so 2 things might make that happen but still not given.

1.Price drop of 50 euro across europe.
2.introduction of 80 GB/ backward compatibilty
one more thing might help:
3.good motorstorm2/ LBP bundles

meaning with its current price there is NO WAY it could hit 3 million in other alone in a month.

you know I am a PS3 fan but I m sorry this doesn't sound logicall at the moment with the given situation(no backward compatibility and high price)

I think the early production levels of PS3 alone prove Sony didn't plan on selling so few consoles. They made almost as many PS3s as Nintendo made Wiis but sold barely half of them.
