If Blu-Ray does bad, it will also hurt Sony's PS3.

Analysists should know the accurate numbers of the company. I don't have to bother with this inaccurate blog.

Sales $66.80 bil

Profits$1.53 bil

Assets$86.38 bi

lMarket Value$47.75 bi

lEmployees151,400

It would be rather hard to get bankrupt from ps3.

Yeah, there are tards such as Mental who h8 Sony bad enough, wo want it go out of business. Or is it because he cant get a PS3, so he is like that. Anyway, Sony will/may lose loads of money due to the PS3, but go bankrupt, i doubt it. Anyway they only need BR to take of, since it will make MUCH MORE money than the PS3, especially since the PS3 is sold at a loss anyway. PS: Anyone wanna be MAssasin works at some cheap palce such as wallmart or some other place of the sort?

All it would do is drive Sony out of the gaming biz, they have much else to build cash off (Movies, TVs, etc)

"may" is the key word here. it suggests fortune-telling. as in IF this happens and then THIS happens, THIS might result, which COULD lead to THIS and THAT, which could mean...BANKRUPCY. this kind of analisys is nothing more than an extended look at Chaos Theory. Too many things have to happen in order for this kind of future to become reality for us to even bother entertaining the premise.

one...dont flame mental as he is voicing his opinion. two...what do you give if those people lost their jobs? That's like saying that you feel sorry for the children in Africa..."Why don't you send money to them then?" "Well....umm....ahhh...."

Actually i do donate money to the poor, albeit after a crysis, such as the Tsunami in Asia, which occured back in 2005 i believe (December), and it happened a day before my plane to Phuket. Anyway i donated quite a sum, possibly one reason being it could be me there. But anyway i did donate teh cash, Africa tho, well numerous African countries are corrupt, and it is more or less the fault of the government, that the people are poor. That plus i truly do not know a way to donate to those, and i ussualy donate in Asia'n places. Anyway i dont give much, but its still job-less people, which can hinder an economy of a country, thus possibly creating even more poor people, and anyway Sony make good products, if he cant afford them, he shouldn't be **** on em.

veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy long read but worth itUnknownmuncher

I don't even have to read it AT ALL to realize it is full of crap and BS. The PS3 costs $499 and $399. We have recently heard that the PS3 now costs only $400 to make. I fail to see how this in any way equals "impending bankruptcy". Especially considering the fact that SOny has managed to pull their other divisions out of the red and now only the gaming division has lost money according to their 2006/2007 year end financials.

If Sony used to lose money in every division BUT gaming, and didn't go bankrupt...why would making money in every division BUT gaming equal bankruptcy. Especially considering BR has basically won the HD wars and stands to make Sony a fortune in licensing? ANd again, considering the PS3 is no longer selling at a loss.

*edit* And since when does a website called "electric sistahood" get considered as not just credible, but as an actual professional business analyst?

We would all lose if that happened. Folks, we really DONT want either console to go out of business. Crap flows downhill, and it would all land on who??? US! Because with no competition, thats all we would get. That goes for either console.

If Blu Ray does bad? Well I think its doing pretty good so far.

Last I checked most live HD broadcasts use Sony cameras at the site. They're TVs are doing better as well as the Bravia series to be exact.

Annalists:

PSP will be 500 dollars at launch!

PSP will crush the DS.

The Wii will be last in the console race. PS3 will sell out and not be available for months after launch.
