Sony lost 5 billion on PS3, losing more money than ANY console in history

This is truly an incredible statistic. Not sure how anyone can call it a "success" for Sony

"Sony has lost ~5 billion dollars on the PS3. It is the worst financial disaster in gaming history, losing more money for its parent company than either the Dreamcast or original Xbox."

Lol neogaf! I did it! I finally got to be the one to say it.

statistics show that 90% of statistics are wrong. and i found that on the interwebRenzokucant

Hopefully sony gets back on track, don't want to be stuck with nostalgia nintendo and casualsoft.

credible source next time

Damn it's you. I thought you got banned.

Yeah source? Other than random Neogaf poster?gamebreakerz__

Well, you're mama loooves her some moron!follis12

"You are mama"???

Next time you want to make fun of someone, particularly if you're going to be so juvenile about it, learn to use proper grammar. It's especially awesome if you don't miss the elementary level stuff.

On topic, cool deal. Couldn't care less about Sony's financial situation. It doesn't hurt me in any way, and if it hurts anyone here on any level (and they don't work for Sony or have a huge amount of money invested in the company) then there's obviously something wrong with them.

If that's true, then dang, that's a lot :o Can't help but feel sorry for sony with the whole PS vita thing going on right now.

Cows are getting pretty freaking desperate to deny the credibility of Neogaf admin

It's not like we don't already know Sony lost billions,

this just puts into perspective how much

My "mama" is dead.:|

Try to stay on topic from now on, please. This is supposed to be a thread about the PS3 and the massive losses that Sony incurred because of it.

5 billion...if thats true the console divisions managment should be fired.

LOL i can't wait to see the PS4. Will probably be made out of cardboard with a drawing of a CPU that has "Cell" scribbled on it. Whats more depressing is that cows would lap it up anyway and defend it to the death. RR360DD

Yet PS3 owners are the ones still getting all the exclusives to play. Umad tc? Looks like it_Cadbury_

Why should anyone be mad? Give me a very good reason why a sensible human being should care about this.

The forums will explode.

You don't think people are going care when Sony gets their ass kicked out of gaming? :lol:

Did I say that I don't think people will care? I'm asking if you think there's any good reason for people to care. Even people who like Sony and the Playstation brand. So again, is there?

It's no surprise to me that Sony is losing money, they're taking one for the team.

In an age where casual games dominate and children / soccer moms are the dominant consumers in sheer numbers, Sony looks in the other direction.

If I had a genie and could make a wish on how I wanted a major game company to perform, Sony would be the result. I'm an adult gamer that likes traditional "core" games, and that's Sony's focus, and that's where they excel.

It literally almost seems like Sony doesn't care about money, because all they want to do is please me. I'm in the minority, I'm an adult gamer that prefers traditional "core" games. I am far outnumbered by soccer moms and children, and they prefer casual games, and motion controlled casual games are what sell, because the target audience is the largest.

Sony is like a dream come true for me, because for whatever reason, they don't care about making money and just choose to please me as a gamer and continue making the games I want and the types of games that I like to play. I swear, I never had a genie and never made a wish for this to happen, but it is what it is, and Sony is the way that they are, and I love it!

[QUOTE="campzor"][QUOTE="groverslanding"]I would be more mad if my favorite console manufacturer was in jeapordy of closing up shop. Cows will cease to exist in the near future.

phonemug's continued menstrollation needs a tampon.

*Sees Halo avatar and sig*

.....

Ah..... ah.....

No, this is too easy.

360 owners got owned more than any other gamers in history; paying for online gaming, and no exclusives, when there's another console that offers so much more.

(not serious here)

But really, who cares about Sony and their financial future?

5 billion for ps3, meh

ain't bad compared to how much they would of lost if

the blu-ray format would of failed

Looks like Sony beat Microsoft in the "who can burn the most money" race.

another pointless thread eh TC. The PS3 turned a profit since the end of 2009 while the Dreamcast and Xbox didn't even make a dime for Sega or MS and that's what makes the PS3 to not be a failure like them.

And rumors say that GOW4 will get an official announcement in the 19 of this month.:cool:
