Forums - Sony - Do you expect the PS3 to, eventually, 'pull a PSP' in Japan?

Think it was something to do with one of their recent quarterly statements on this site. Am sure they also stated they only expected to start making a profit on ps3 2012+ in the same article. They revealed their expenditure for each ps3 manufactured too.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Again, even if that statement exists it could be that you misinterpreted what was meant by "turning a profit".  Obviously it's not HW + SW; I seriously doubt it's HW alone; and the third possibility is cumulative profit vs. loss for PS3 overall, which Sony might be arrogant enough to claim, but I doubt it would be that insane.  I guess there could be a fourth possibility of cumulative entertainment division (PS2+PSP+PS3) profit/loss counting from the start of the PS3, but that would be a strange measurement -- however, that might be something Sony would track just to be able to make a face-saving "we profited" claim. 

So you see, your little bit of information really means nothing until you give us the source to verify it and put it in context. 

Or, more briefly, source or it doesn't exist.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

If MGS4 didn't save the PS3, FFXIII and GT5 will do little more to help the matter. Any console that relies solely on games to save itself is setting itself up for trouble.

Last gen, the PS2 had everything, this generation the 360 has Tales of vesperia and Star Ocrean, the Wii has Two new Tales of games and Monster Hunter 3 an the PS3 only has MGS4 and FFXIII. With Final Fantasy fast dropping in quality and the PS3 as its own greatest deturant to support the Sony brand, this is a combination that could potentially be disasterous for both Sony and FF franchise. Even FFXII only sold 5 million units world wide and with FFXIII continuing down this downhill trend of the series. Square-Enix does not have the talent to make another FFX or another FF7. Let's pray to god FFXIII isn't released on the 360 in Japan too (rumors abound) or else there goes your last dream.

And look at the PSP now, even it couldn't pull off its upward trend forever, the superior handheld inevitably took back its crown. Even if against all odds the PS3 managed to pull a PSP how long do you really think it could last?

You Sony fans are relying on too few games for too much of an impact. This is not a succesful plan of ambition, this is a way of thinking that has time and time again shot you in the foot repeatedly.

only have mgs4?

 

how about versus, white knight chronicles(a LEVEL 5 RPG), gran turismo 5 and little big planet?

there so much bias against sony it that post, its not even funny.

psp still outselling the wii in japan just because monter hunter 2 for a long while.

yes ds is selling alot, but after dragon quest remade it was known it was going to.

games to sales consoles, but that isn't working for the 360 after a 24k bump its back to 1000- 3000 .

 

final fantasy xii was not a nomura game, FF7 ff8 ff10 all sold over 7 millions,ff12 its one of the weakness ff, same as ff9 it went to traditional and it have lowest sales, but then ffx came back to the normal over 7 million.

still sold 2.42m in japan alone.

the talent is still there nomura, actually ff13 + versus together will likely be over 10 million together.

almost half of the sales are from japan, in japan only dragon quest and pokemon sell the amount FF does,

even crisis core sold more 700k there, in system with high piracy.

 

do abit research saying it have 2 games its complete trolling this isn't 2006 anymore.

 

 Really and how much do you think Final Fantasy will sell on a console that isn't the PS2? Hahahaha. And white knights chronicles, the game that has been so painfully overhyped since before the PS3 launched, I hope its as stellar a game as LAIR, Heavenly Sword and Uncharted and sells the millions and millions of units those games did. Gran Turismo 5, oh so after that's out what will be your saftey net then? Gran Turismo 6? Another franchise on the decline in sales and lthe PS3 being no PS2 is not going to help that.

Again, you fanboys rely too heavily on individual games, it's a strategy that has bitten you in the ass before and will bite you again.

Onimusha cut it out. There are proper ways to get your opinion out and then there's what you're doing, flamebait.

No worries Onyxmeth, I'll exercise more diplomatic behavior in future instances.
