Ummmm.......ask any board of executives if they care more about their stock price or there profits... Profits are extremely important, but if your stock price can take a beating even if you are profitable, and your stock price can rise even if you are losing money.

Of course they care more about profits. Trying to put sony in the same position with MS and nintendo is laughable .

As if. You forgot to label them, and now you're trying to turn it around. At the end of the day only one of these three companies is going to report a loss overall. At the end of the day only one of these three companies is looking seriously at a loss in their gaming sector this quarter. At the end of the day only one of these companies is seriously considering shutting down major divisions of their company. At the end of the day, this thread's point is absolutely debunked.

do we know for a certain that microsoft will not report a loss at the end of the day?
microsoft has already closed major divisions. and so at the end of the day they might call it quits with another division.
how much do you think microsoft makes in their gaming sector? do you know they post profit per system sold? how about the big rrod situation, i heard that costed a bunch.
look at the end of the day no one knows anything until its posted in the news. so without assuming all 3 companies are at risk in going under during these troubling times. stocks are important, this thread shows that even when making a shit ton of cash this gen. your company can fall victim to the recession.
Alright, I'm not even gonna try. No one here seems to have a solid grasp on the fact that a company is a lot more than just its balance sheet.
And I like the people who can't read a stock graph who are trying to make me look stupid saying I "didn't label them."
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
Are you guys serious? Stock price.
No, no, I should've led with the sarcastic answer: Magical Leprechauns. Sony is down to only 20 magical leprechauns.

So i see that percentage drop-wise, Nintendo has been the best of them, and is the most likely to crawl out of this slump before the other two. Sony's percentage drop is the biggest, and they are visibly worse off than the other two. So i would say, even relatively, Sony are in dire straits.

1) That is a great point. Most people know that a rise or fall in stock price means an increase or decrease in that company's market capitalization. But many don't seem to realize that market cap, or what a company is deemed worth, really only determines how much money the company can borrow. A falling stock price combined with the credit crunch sure would spell trouble for any company needing to borrow money now.
2) I believe everyone in this thread was able to read the graphs, they clearly shows the months on the x-axis and numbers on the y. Not everyone would know what a stock graph looks like though, and if your intent of the thread is to show that Sony isn't worse off than MS or Ninty then you should do a better job explaining that.
Honestly your point backfired.
