Stop trying, it makes you less appealing. This type of arrogance can only be achieved by not trying.

Oh yeah, congrats to Yakuzaice for actually posting something relevant to counter. The rest of us are obviously trolling.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the 250GB PS3 profitable?

Also isn't the PS3 profitable in Europe and Japan?

In Europe it has to be profitable because of the Euro and Pounds currencies but Japan is a different story. Costs are the same but the PS3 is the cheapest in Japan, is it not? 

At least i remember it being that way, if nothing has changed then it's losses in Japan.

no in Japan they are closest to a profit. 30000 yen is more than $330. The US is where they are losing the most probably. There are too many factors in Europe to easily judge.

He's saying.. if *this* happens. *This* will occur.

So basicly he's not saying anything.

One could say; If software hits all time lows, profitability concerns would hit all companies.

But what are we suppose to do with these "facts"?

I made an edit at rols request, OP updated.

Interesting analysis.

Not really.  While the PSP sales are hurting, they can drop the platform eventually if they want to.  And PS3 SHOULD have been a replacement for PS2 long ago.  There's just 2 major reasons it hasn't been replaced yet.  One, its overwhelming past success which is still keeping it afloat as a viable platform and because the PS3 has yet to perform well enough to allow the PS2 to be retired.

In the end, these figures (as posted by the opening post) just tend to confirm one thing.  That Sony's moves with the PS3 are not a major improvement that will make them overtake its competition or a wild hail mary which somehow made the PS3 more popular, but more of a 'last resort' of price cuts and backdoor deals to just help the PS3 somehow break even.  And even then, it may only hold the system off for a couple years before Sony is once again back to losing muti-millions of dollars, even with a system that has a larger userbase and more third party support.

ith a -52K $VG balance, are you seriously asking this question?  Squilliam is providing data, so draw what conslusions you want from it...isntead you jsut whine about a thread...typical.
