Was blu-ray really necessary for the PS3?

[QUOTE="rilpas"]

[QUOTE="themajormayor"] So what you're saying is this individual good was selling at higher revenue than cost? But the whole division wasn't? But if there are no individual figures for Playstation how do you know if the PS3 has been overall profitable or not? Oh yeah? But did you get a B??themajormayor

[QUOTE="themajormayor"] No I live in Europe we have bachelor here too. 3 years. themajormayor

umm... I live in europe and we no longer have Bachelor's degrees here, 3 years are not bachelor's degrees here

that's strange, I thought the EU decided to end bachelor's degrees with the introduction of the Bologna process

[QUOTE="themajormayor"][QUOTE="delta3074"]i won't ever get a full degree, i work in a factory, i did work expereience for legal and general assurance and was put off working in an office for life, i did my Btec years ago after i left the Army, it's probably out of date but i will never forget the knowledge, although i am quite savvy at Maths and finances it's not my thing, my parents pressured me into doing it thinking i would become a bank manager or business man one day but i have very different ideas, my family used to be lords in northampton where i live, sir thomas samwell was the first baronet and MP for northamptonshire and we have a family crest and all that, my parents where just trying to reacpture all of that but i ain't interested, i like being a peasant and i have no asppirations to be rich, i just want to live my life and game and support my wife and kids, doing finances actually gives me a headache,loldelta3074

ah makes sense, in my case, shamefully... I forgot most of what I learned, I had two courses in mathematics, but they're not really necessary for my area :P

that's strange, I thought the EU decided to end bachelor's degrees with the introduction of the Bologna process

the bologna process is the EU's attempt at making college education the same (or at least comparable) for the entire EU, as a result, we've lost the bachelor's degree here.

I actually would have had a bachelor's by now if it wasn't for the Bologna process

basic highschool math will most likely stick with me, but the more complicated matrixes and anti derivatives are starting to fade away

[QUOTE="themajormayor"] Ah well. I'd always like to think math is always good regardless of what you're doing. It's IMO the most important subject.themajormayor

yep, it is :P

Lol 8 GB? Ooooh so scary, Blu Ray is 50 GB! Looks like you shot yourself in the foot choosing to buy such an obvioulsyinferior format, and you chose to do so knowing about the better one. That's even worse.

And lol at thinking MS is the only one making profit, Sony is doing fine mr Delta. Get over your obsession with them going under, must be the Lem drugs you've been taking, who sold them to you? Was it LooseENDS? I told you not to play with him, he has multiple personalities you know.

Drugs arn't cool man, if you want to be cool buy a PS3, that's what makes you REALLY cool, trust me I know, I have PS3 and I'm REALLY cool.

He's right, more storage cannot create better graphics. It does however leave enough space so if future games have better graphics they have enough space to fit the high rez textures, cutscenes, and pretty much everything else.

of course it was, this is a no brainer. if the ps3 didn't have blu-ray, blu-ray would have lost the format war against hddvd and we would be forced to buy inferior products.

sony purposely handicapped its playstation division by doing this but it worked (blu ray won the format war) and that's why the ps3 has actually been hugely successful for sony. people tend to forget that sony does a lot more than just make video games. video games are a very small fraction of the company's total revenue.

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="themajormayor"] Wait you mean like a bachelor degree?? Yeah but most of their revenue comes from software sales so you have to keep that in mind too.themajormayor
