What warranty cost? What are you discussing about? Are you talking about the Xbox 360 3-year warranty that they just did if so, Microsoft extended their warranty to three years costing them $1.15 billion dollars to do.

That is the oddest request I've ever heard. You want an open discussion (and a touchy one at that) without arguments? Good luck 
Sony will not pull the plug on either the PSP or the PS3, no matter how much money they lose. They are both being used to gain better marketshare and mindshare in the living room. It's the same reason Microsoft will sink billions into the 360 without batting an eyelash.

You really need to do research. http://forum.pcvsconsole.com/viewthread.php?tid=11760&page=10 http://vgchartz.com/aweekly.php Given that the price cut took effect July 9th, Sony has already seen additional losses of ~18 million dollars, and those losses will continue to increase as more PS3s are sold within this new-price window. This does not even include the additional losses inherent in the European bundles, which are difficult to calculate (And are definitely lower than 100 dollars, of course). Honestly, Hus, please don't mock people when they have done research and you haven't. It's quite embarrasing. Just for completeness' sake, even though I've already posted all of this, here is a link to the quarterly fiscal reports of all three companies: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/kessan/english.html |
Whats your point ?
I never said they are losing less or more. My point is the end is in sight, its called 65 nano Cell and Rsx.
Why dony you stick on topic and not spin things to fit your agenda.
Tell me buddy what did i say that is not true what, what did i say that you number somehow debunk ?
