WOW! You just don't get it. Yes ignorance is what I said. As far as me making myself look dumb ROTFL. I don't need examples since I've been gaming for over 18 years.

I can't imagine anyone not accepting that Sony didn't screw up. That's why they brought in Stringer in the first place. Because he's a guy they were hiring to be lean and mean. To get the company profitable again. How can a company not be considered to have screwed up if they aren't making a profit? when did companies become charities in regards to their accounting books?

Kudos to H. Stringer for stripping the bloated Japanese kickbacks and all the other methods that have been bleeding the company. I think someone needs to take off their I Love Sony glasses now.

2010 is not the year Sony is going to snap back. Though it's the year they are getting back on course. Like any car it doesn't go from 0 to 100mph in 1 second. It's getting on the road. Give it some time to accelerate and catchup.

18 years of gaming experience means absolutley nothing. Look, you still dont see my point, and yet you dodge my first question. All this is doing is fueling my entertainment.

I dont think they screwed up. Knowing they would sell the ps3 at a lost. And they are still selling for a lost... Yet they are still selling, and getting stronger in sales. I really dont think they made a mistake in the first place.

I'm done with you. You dug your own grave and now it's time to lie in it. Don't be mistaken you have entertained me . BTW the post right before your last proves everything and you never made yourself clear at any given point.

You are in denial, NanakiXI. Lets just say I was nice enough to give you an example.

The PS3 was given the number-eight spot on PC World magazine’s list of "The Top 21 Tech Screwups of 2006," where it was criticized for being "Late, Expensive, and Incompatible".^[202] GamesRadar ranked the PS3 as the top item in a feature on game-related PR disasters, asking how Sony managed to "take one of the most anticipated game systems of all time and — within the space of a year — turn it into a hate object reviled by the entire internet", but added that despite its problems the system has "untapped potential".^[203] Business Week summed up the general opinion by stating that it was "more impressed with what [the PlayStation 3] could do than with what it currently does".^[204]

Developers have also found the machine difficult to program for. In 2007, Gabe Newell of Valve said "The PS3 is a total disaster on so many levels, I think it's really clear that Sony lost track of what customers and what developers wanted". He continued "I'd say, even at this late date, they should just cancel it and do a do over. Just say, 'This was a horrible disaster and we're sorry and we're going to stop selling this and stop trying to convince people to develop for it'". Doug Lombardi VP of Marketing for Valve

I can play this game too.

It doesn't take long for analysts to look at the year before us and make their annual predictions.

IndustryGamers, where Sebastian is quoted as saying:

"For the year, we are currently modeling a 10% increase in PS3 unit sales, Xbox 360 unit sales down 5%, and a 20% decline in Nintendo Wii unit sales. There is upside potential to our estimates with further hardware price reductions. At this point, we expect the console-installed base to increase by roughly 25% to 70 million units, and above the 57 million console units installed of the last generation platforms at the end of 2005."

"Back in 2007, it was difficult to conceive of a time when the PS3 would represent the lone upward swing in hardware sales for one full year. But as we all found in 2009, this industry tends to thrive on momentum swings and for now, Sony and the PS3 are hogging all that momentum. How many Game of the Year Awards and nominations did PS3 exclusives secure last year...? And with Blu-Ray/HD entertainment becoming ever more popular, the PS3 is kinda like the cat's pajamas right about now".

You know what NanakiXI, lets just call it a day.

 has since stated that they are interested in developing for the console and are looking to hire talented PS3 programmers for future projects.^[206] However he stated, "Until we have the ability to get a PS3 team together, until we find the people who want to come to Valve or who are at Valve who want to work on that, I don't really see us moving to that platform".^[207]

Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has criticised the PS3’s high development costs and inferior attach rate and return to that of the Xbox 360 and Wii. He believes these factors are pushing developers away from working on the console. In an interview with The Times Kotick stated "I'm getting concerned about Sony; the PlayStation 3 is losing a bit of momentum and they don't make it easy for me to support the platform."^[208] He continued, "It's expensive to develop for the console, and the Wii and the Xbox are just selling better. Games generate a better return on invested capital on the Xbox than on the PlayStation." Kotick also claimed that Activision Blizzard may stop supporting the system if the situation is not addressed. “[Sony has] to cut the [PS3’s retail] price, because if they don't, the attach rates are likely to slow. If we are being realistic, we might have
