Translation -> no ps3 price cut in 2008,we know you want a ps3 this Xmass so pay the full price,don`t expect a 50$ price cut. We`re not MS,we are focusing on profitability,like we said so. We have Resistance 2 and LBP and Motorstorm and...well,we have blue ray,we are Playstation,you want us this Xmass.

No thanks buddy,I`ll play Fable 2 and Gears 2 this Xmass and smile all the way. Enjoy your 30% "better than expectations" marketshare,you earned it.

So true. They say that but still lose more money than MS. LOLOL!!!


Not last quarter.

Shows how badly SONY has fallen when their CEO is happy to just "meet" their sales. Wow just pathetic. Looks like he forgot how the PS2 used to sell 20+mil.

 

 how many multibilliion gaming companies are u CEO of? just curious

People can be very short-sighted. The pricecut just occured, within a week or two 360 will be back under PS3 in Japan and most likely in Europe within the month. America, who knows, it fluctuates more wildly than the other two regions. I know it's fun to be negative, but the PS3 is not in the abysmal position people make out. Not trolling, just saying people trying to damage control for Sony, just wait. Things will look better in a few weeks.

 

true. everyone is acting so surpirsed that the 360 has outsold the ps3! well what do you expect after a price drop. anyway we dont even know the real numbers. lets wait for NPD and microsoft to see how they are doing. when is the next time sony, nintendo and microsoft are gonna report shipments?

Not sure what to think about the PSP, but the part about the PS3 makes since... Since they started of selling at a lose and have probably only been selling in Eu at a profit for 6 months tops, and are probably breaking even to taking a MINOR loss in America, I think that they were never planning on selling alot of ps3's because plain and simply, they knew the more they sold in the beginning the harder it will be to recoup in the end.

You do know that Sony makes its main profits from software, don't you? the more they sold in the start the EASIER they could recoup later due to bigger userbases.

Yes, but that depends on consumers buying SW, and SCE hasn't been releasing that many games that are catching the public's attention. Not to mention the ps3's that are just being bought for bluray and not games [Where SONY Computer Entertainment makes cash]. They need a better attatch rate if they plan on making good profit from those units sold, and they just don't have the games releasing to do it right now.
