Well, in the last reported quarter, up to September 30, 2008:

(...)

Better than 07, but... ouch. Their next quarter is due to be reported January 16th. And for the record, that's over $420 million in net losses. In ONE QUARTER.

I think it's just Sony Ericsson on the 16th, Sony should be at the end of the month but I don't think they announced a date yet.

Why is there so much hostility to sony denying rumours. When Microsoft denied the rumours that they were laying people off, everyone took it as gospel... I don't get this place...

 

It wasn't Microsoft's denial that proved those rumours false, it was when people proved the blogs had no sources of any relevance. (and that they were just blogs, not a professional business newspaper).



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

But it is on the Intertubes, it must be true!!

If this is true

MS win this gen console for sure FTW

This is a terrible rumor regardless of what kind of "fanboy" you are.

 

How do you figure? It would just mean all the good games coming out on PS3 would have a better chance of being ported to the 360 later.

The fanboy wars would end. I just can't picture Wii and 360 fans arguing.

It's not, this thread should be closed since they announced at CES that it wasn't true.

Obviously they are going to deny it but the story was in reuters so it has some credence. We'll have to wait to see what happens.
