Regardless the PS3 is doing extremely well at the moment.

 

 

Wait getting outsold by the competition, losing marketshare, losing money and all the profit generated by the PS2 and PSP, decrease in YOY sales and all this after crushing the competition in the previous generations(PS1/2) is good???

I thought April fools was last week??

And how do ppl expect a $100 price cut??? Did SONY make a huge profit from the games division last quarter???

First off, where did it ever say they lost all profit from the PSP?

Second off, how do you know whether or not they are losing money right now? Sony said last year that by this time in 2009 they will begin profiting from PS3 sales, not to mention they are probably already profiting from EU sales since the console price is higher.

Third off, PS2 is no longer selling? PS2 is still making profit so how did they lose all of it?

PS3 is doing good right now whether you wish to believe so or not.

So answer me this.

PS3 selling on par with 360 is bad news for Sony but 360 selling on par with PS3 despite being half the price is good for Microsoft?

 

I don't understand why he seems to think the PS3 is doing so badly, but to each, his own I guess.

 

Other than the previously stated "Sony lost all PS2 profits" from years ago all of which he said has no factual data to back it up.

People ask how they could afford a price drop, but they do not wonder how they keep developing so many games.

to repeat what havre said others :

PS3 is unexpectdely close of the Xbox360 ...

You asked if they posted a profit last quarter and to back it up you show full years numbers?

 

You have still yet to come back against everything I proved you wrong about. No need to worry though, I already know you won't admit to being wrong.

I know full well Sony has been losing money the last 2-years. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to have seen that. Once again though, you ONLY mentioned last quarter.

I like your strategy though, when you know you have been proven wrong just go ahead and change your argument.

PS3 damn close to X360. Wonder what happened. Wii 100k down from last year.

360 is doomed. Needs a price cut, and fast.



When do we get the March NPD numbers?

My theory: some people call the 360 the PS2 of this generation (I don't really know why), but last week the PS2 of the last generation (i.e. the PS2) got a price cut and ate into the 360's sales. Last gen wins!

I think u r the only one who remembered the ps2 price cut , we were busy celebrating
