well have you read the very first post? I said they ignored Nintendo totally.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Techniqually, shouldn't it be "Sony gaminghardware outsold Microsoft gaming hardware"? It's also kinda sad that the Ps2 almost outsold the PS3. Not that that would be mentioned in an article as clearly biased as this one. |
I find it hardly sad =p.

Either my english is bad, or yours is. Whichever it is I do not understand your comment.

I can't believe what I just read. He sounds like he's reading Sonydefenseforce too much.
The primary difference between Sony and Microsoft is the profit margin, and the disposition of their assets. Microsoft is obviously highly profitable. While Sony is actually unprofitable at this moment. Sony has more assets then Microsoft. However the majority of those assets are physical. Which does not necessarily mean liquid or convertible. While Microsoft has a massive amount of its assets in liquid currency, and in highly convertible property.
Really both companies are about the same size when you compare their ability to move money. The problem is this will not persist. Microsoft is doing well in the recession, and can actually use it to the companies advantage as in things are cheaper to buy. Sony is doing poorly in that it is having a hard time showing a profit, and selling their assets will net them less then the true worth.
Fortunately for Sony for whatever reason, and it has to be the physical assets they can still get loans from third parties. They seem to have a limitless credit line. Though you know what they say you gotta pay it back. I wonder if Sony is only paying the interest at this point. Talk about a slow bloodletting if that is the case.

I have no idea what the number of employees has to do with it.. but here are the three main measures Market cap ( the real true measure ) Microsoft $216 billion Sony $22.77 billion Microsoft 10 times bigger in real measurable size Revenue Microsoft $61.17 billion Sony $82.22 billion Profit Microsoft $16 billion Sony $1 billion LOSS
So you are right on turnover... worryingly they can turnover $82 billion dollars and still make a loss. So unless they can cut costs big time all over the place any price aggression in any market (TV, Phones or Gaming) seems fool hardy.
However, MS is 10 times bigger than MS and could almost buy up Sony from 1 years profits... Sony as we know made a loss. |
MS can buy itself cofirmed
