Well this may be the final nail in the coffin for Sony this generation. I mean it happens, what did you sony fanboys think or for that matter anybody actually think that Sony would never lose its first place spot?!!? It happens Sony came along and beat Nintendo, and was first place for 2 generations, but now Nintendo, and Microsoft have struck them down and they no longer reign supreme. Its not a suprise at all, its what happens. Mabye next generation they might get back on top again . Or Nintendo will be winning again, or Microsoft who knows. Bottom Line no company will ever stay on top. Sony is just doing poorly this gen, Sorry.

WTH is your point troll? Are you so blind with your fanboyish ways to realise sony is one of the biggest electronics companies? The company as a whole still turned a profit so in no way shape or form is sony done. You wanna know why they even lost money? Because they are moving units. Use your damn brain. As long s they are providing consoles at a cost for less than manufacturing costs they will continue to lose money. You fanboys are ridiculous, using something like this to try and get at PS3 owners. LOL thats pathetic

I challenge you to research MS's game division financials. It's still really early in this generation's life cycle; much too early to start crowning the kings. Oh, well, I should say "the PS3's life cycle." At the rate MS is going, the 360 will be maxed out ina year or so, and it'll be time for XBOX3 right as the PS3 is hitting its prime. Also, I feel 360 sales are a little misleading, considering how many lemmings inexplicably repurchase the dang thing once the ring hits.

I usually don't respond to these types of posts, which are obviously inviting the flames for reasons which make no sense to me, but I must be feeling confrontational today or something.

Oh crap I guess your're kinda right. I kinda just skimmed through the article, and plus the headline is nothing but negative. But still every month there is something about Sony losing an ass load of money over something, and that something usually involves the PS3.

I dont think many people repurchase 360s seeing as you get them replaced for free. Im not really crowning any definite king, I just feel it will probably not be Sony this gen. Plus I like inviting flames, I like too argue sometimes, its fun.

Yea just make sure to get all the facts otherwise your gunna get slammed. To clear it op. The operating costs doubled because they sold more ps3s at a chepaer cost. The number is 841 million i think. In contrast, they had revenue of 2.1 billion. So they are in no way doing bad right now

They've lost a big ammount of money yes, but Sony got almost an endless amount of it so it's not really a big problem for the company as a whole. It isn't though exactly good news for the gaming department, but a nail in the coffin? No I don't think so.

Besides, things can pick up over the years.

What? Its not like Im being an immature little troll, my points are somewhat valid and stated clearly, and Im not saying anything that bad to the PS3, I just thought this news was bad for Sony and wanted to show it. And discuss how they would eventually lose their top spot. But I guess you guys are right, this generation is not over yet and is still young.

Yeah, I encourage you to examine the stickied'Broken XBOX360' thread on the boards here. Take special note of how many people are actually satisfied with their 'free replacement,' and how many basically say 'F this, I'm buying an Elite/Halo3 SE and selling my replacement because I'm tired of getting a different broken console sent back to me after 2 months of waiting.'

Sony are a big company - they can dip their fingers into many differentbusiness ventures if they need to get more game division funding. And sure, they may be experiencing losses now, but that's to be expected at not only the start of a generation, but also in light of a recent price cut and a poor September. I can guarantee things will pick up and Sony will make a sizable profit by gens end.

What are people getting back broken 360s? My replacement is fine, except for some reason it has trouble playing a select few DVDs, saying MODE NOT SUPPORTED. Which I dont get. Mabye itsa problem with the region coding or something.

Well the PS2 won by almost 100 million consoles. The PS1 sold over 100 million consoles. The N64 sold around 35 million. The Gamecube and Xbox sold 50 million combined. It would be logical to think that Sony would stay on top.

Guess what, this happens when you're selling hardware at a loss while the install base isn't big enough yet to have software sales make up for it.

Well not forever, they would eventually fall, like every major power no matter how powerful. So those millions of PS1s and PS2s dont really mean much anymore, as that is the past. Now it is a closer race, and plus the 360 is kinda gaining way more mainstream popularity, with a lotmore commericals, espiscially commercials for multiplatform games like Madden, but are advertised as 360 commercial only. Plus more references in pop culture.

I dont mean going down altogether! I mean just in the game division for now, with PS3. LOL, I see some of you misinterpreted what I meant, and thought I was saying Sony the company is dieing or something. No, that is not what I meant at all, I am just talking about them in the video game industry, and console wars.

Whether you are intending to troll or not makes no difference. This kind of discussion belongs in System Wars....period.

Ughh. System Wars is getting so bad, that it is on par with Dante's 9th circle of hell that is reserved for the absolute worst kinds of sinners. Only in system wars it is the worst and most notorious of all fanboys.....namely lemmings. So, I take a break and come here where people can talk about the PS3 without all of the negativity, and boom, threads like this start to pop up, lol.

As long as Sony is the biggest and best electronics company there is and probably will ever be, they can do whatever they want. Ps3 is the superior system, with revolutionary technology, they can do whatever they want, look at the lineup of games for 08, look at the hardware and software updates, 2.0 and Home. Look at the spiked sales since the price drops and the release of the 80 gig, theres no way Sony is going anywhere

Your setting yourself up for dissapointment thinking sony will go down
