See the two other consoles are both profitable, both sold more than the previous versions and are relatively in 1st and 2nd place in overall LTD sales. The PS3 is in 3rd place, unprofitable still and in comparison to the previous version is a big pile of suck. So still in every metric its not doing that well aside from a currently short term sales surge whilst by those same metric the other consoles are doing GREAT.

Name one console that sold as good as the PS3 at its price, adjust for inflation if you want.

Name one console that's been as subsidized and lost as much money as PS3 has, adjust for inflation if you want.

we dont know how much it will lose or make once its all said and done.

but we do know none have done as good at as high a price.

so try harder next time.

Of course none have done as well at that price, the only really comparable system is the saturn....not really a great talking point and also a poor argument to be honest.

We dont compare success based on price here....too many variables, we talk total consoles sold, no use in bending arguments it gets us nowhere.

Nope.  The original Xbox lost around $4 billion.  PS3's already at $5 billion, and still bleeding.

Well, we can be pretty sure it'll be an overall loss at least, unlike 360 or Wii.  Maybe Sony should "try harder next time"?

What I notice this gen is that ppl will alway come up with new excuses why the x company is still doing bad for e.g

2006- PS3 has no games

then games started comming...

2007-PS3 is doomed due to low sales and blu ray is doomed

blu ray still selling....

2008-ps3 is doomed due to low sales

then PS3 sales has gotten a lot better....

2009-PS3 still not profitable = doomed

2010-PS3 not gaining enough profit???


Wrong. This is a forum heavily spammed by doom & gloom and negative comments because of the console warzz. There's been as much doomsaying for the 360 as for the ps3, the only exception is the wii because honestly only a retard would doom & gloom the wii. Well, there has been some doom&glooming about the wii lately, which speaks a lot about some of the forumgoers here, but I digress...





Current-gen game collection uploaded on the profile, full of win and good games; also most of my PC games. Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts 1982-2008 (Requiescat In Pace).

Well then talk consoles sold.

PS3 is out selling the 360, 360s lead is deteriorating.

PS3 has done what 99.9 onhere said impossible, its out selling the wii in one of the markets.

Not this week.  They're basically even in Japan, and next week is Mario...



^^It doesnt matter cause ps3 isnt profitable and I bet next year if sony does turn sum profit then profit wont matter by then and so on....



a lot of ANGER in here, this is opposite from last year
