It's about making profit, not coming in 1st. As long as the company makes a profit, it can stay in business. That's the whole idea. Does BMW or Mercedes ever come in first in total car sales? Not even close. Are they still in business? Hell yes.

BAM!

the ps3 slim isnt making a profit and they are still losing money. when teh ps3 slim fails that will be it for the ps3. now if the ps4 fails as well sony will be leaving the game market behind. which is almost a reality.

but the gaming industry is  smaller than the car industry. you can sell a mercedes in paraguay or in china if you want to but you cant sell a games in those countrys  because of piracy.

The T3CH CELL wont play pirated copies

Actually the PS3 is being worked on as I type this, a ps3 chip should be out before the year ends now that bluray burners are out and dropping in price, the ps3 is being cracked by the same team that hacked the 360, woot!

 

Back to topic, I do think this *could* be the ps3's last chance, if the slim and price cut don't do wonders I hate to think what will happen to the ps3 and maybe even the playstation brand, time will tell I guess but whatever happens it should be a very interesting ride over the next few months!

Actually the PS3 has been worked on since release

And the cost problem is in the Blue-Ray discs not burners

Actually no, c4eva has only just got involved in hacking the ps3, he posted an update saying he expects a chip to be ready for testing in the next two months, c4eva is the person that hacked the 360's dvd drive making the 360 flashable, 

Bluray discs are dropping in price although still expensive, they should be much cheaper within the next six months.



@FKNetwork

oh i see, so ur talking about the future

lets have a bet

i say "c4eva" wont succeed by the end of the year

Erm, last hope for what? PlayStation 3 is currently the 3rd fastest selling console, only behind Wii and PlayStation 2.

How? Please, show me charts, I can't believe it is selling faster than the ps1(the first console to reach 100 million) or even 360 that is outselling it weekly for a long time now.

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS3®1=All&cons2=X360®2=All&cons3=PS®3=All&weeks=156

Happy?

I never knew it was the 3rd fastest selling in history.

Awesome!

I could be wrong, but I believe VGC only has the data for PS1 sales in Japan, which is why it's so ridiculously low on that chart.

ps1 sales explodes late, like in the 3rd year. so it's possible. it maybe higher.

but its around Wii ps2 Ps1 ps3.

VGC only has the data for PS1 sales in Japan. You can't compare them to the PS3 or X360 numbers.

This is off-topic but your sig is funny as hell.



"Dr. Tenma, according to you, lives are equal. That's why I live today. But you must have realised it by now...the only thing people are equal in is death"---Johann Liebert (MONSTER)

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler

All I hope is that I get some more RPGs.
