only because they fucked up...

they would be selling it at that now if they could... and be making a profit... you can thank MS for the more sensible and more agressive PS3 pricing.

Or, actually, just thank technological improvements that allow for smaller, cheaper and few parts?

Yeah, thought so.

Please quit bringing up Microsoft, "X company is bad", etc, etc, etc. This is about sales of the PSPgo in France. Take your crusade somewhere else.



Nice start for the Go

If they fucked up or not... They were still losing $200 per console which no matter how you try to spin it, isn't bad for the consumer.

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. 



Yeah go psp go.

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.



                            

So to wrap up...

1. PSP Go sales are horrible, and is considered a "failure" (despite how you flair it up).
2. Microsoft is evil because they make a profit (err...this point is confusing)
3. Sony are ripping consumers off based on their brand recognition (it's...business?)

I was in France during the PSP go launch week, and they were A LOT of advertising there. 8k seems very low imo.

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?



8k in 3 days is quite good. Psp in September sold 3-4 k weekly in France. Not excellent, but good.
