| Kyros said: That article is a very grim reality check to all those people still saying PS3 has a chance. And I still hear some people talking about a PS4... You are funny. Yes they lost lots of money with the PS3. And a big part of that because they used it to promote BluRay. One can argue about the reasoning behind this decision. The emphasis here is on lost or past tense. The gaming division will from now on be in the black, they will easily sell more consoles in the first 2.5 years before the price drops below 400$ than the failed Gamecube or XBOX in total and you talk about a referee counting? There are three questions 1) Will they win this gen? The answer is no unless a miracle happens. 2) Will the PS3 in total be profitable? Probably not unless you add BluRay royalties and BluRay really gets going. 3) Will the PS3 be profitable from now on? Hell yes. Seriously they lost lots of money and are now coming into the cash-in phase for their console and you are fantasizing about them going out? And for the PS4? Yes there will be a PS4 and it will be cheaper. Cheaper to develop and cheaper to buy. That is sure. |
^This. My speech will only reiterate what Kyros already said
"Dr. Tenma, according to you, lives are equal. That's why I live today. But you must have realised it by now...the only thing people are equal in is death"---Johann Liebert (MONSTER)
"WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler
