If they really were as bad as MS for doing such stuff it would have launched at $800+.
What i find funny though, is that they STILL aren't making a profit on PS3 hardware. Yet they are just as bad as MS... lol |
How does making a profit make you bad? Sony released the price at $600 because they knew it would have failed at $800 meaning no profit ever and the end of the PS brand. They didn't release it at $600 because they are good people who think about their consumers.

I never said making profit was bad.
And i never said it made Sony good people for releasing it at $600.
Read the rest of the conversation. I was arguing against kowen saying Sony are just as bad as MS or even worse for it.

You are implying that they did it for the consumer, and not to boost sales. Whether that was your original intention or not, you still mentioned it. In the red section, you imply that making you need to make a profit in order to be " as bad". When that isn't necessarily true. I think all three companies are from the same place. They want to make money, and don't care about anything else really. Also going back and reading his post again, he was discussing whether or not sony cares for their consumers more or less than Microsoft, not "how bad" they are at overpricing stuff.
Actually how about I go to the root of the conversation.
* You make a post that references to Sony shafting loyal buyers. You didn't mention it, but kowenicki did.
*Kowenicki mentions how bad sony is shafting first term and loyal customers.
* You mention something about him hating sony, but not Nintendo or Microsoft.
* He mentions that he hates nobody. He just finds it funny how there is a double standard where Sony fans mention how they are treated well. Then he mentions they (may) even be just as bad as Microsoft.(This isn't the main point though, and you refering to it as such really doesn't make it so.)
* You mention the 200 loss, as if Sony meant to do it for the customers and not because they have to.
* He mentiones that they have to.
* Then the quoted post and everything else.
Am I missing anything?
