wheres the link to show that? i can show the link that shows SONY lost 1 Billion at PS3 launch
1.9 to be more precise but MS has lost over 5.4 billion with their Xbox franchise. Not by choice though. http://kotaku.com/gaming/oh-snap/playstation-biz-almost-posted-2-billion-loss-260809.phphttp://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=75566"
Investor adviser Roger Ehrenberg believes Microsoft's foray into gaming has been a "disastrous endeavour", and that it should rethink its entire strategy.
His conclusion was based on "objective numbers" taken from the Microsoft's financial statements, which show a total loss of USD 5.4 billion from its efforts."
That is some guy's idea not facts bud... SONY's lost is official i didn't see Micro$oft reporting that! Micro$oft joined the Gaming biz for the heck of it! u think they care if the 360 fails? no! because your using Windows to look at THIS! this is part of SONY's actual job! SONY wanted to help Nintendo out and got kicked to the curb so the made the PS1. Micro$oft just wants more money so they made the Xbox!
Also.. yuh i know the Wii is a gamecube wit a new hood... but Nintendo does what its fans want! Not its US fans... its Japanese fans! They make them happy and i give them propz for that!
They both backstabbed each other in that contract, nintendo only betrayed sony because in the contract it clearly stated that anything developed for the snes-cd was sony property (If mario was made on it, that means mario now belonged to sony!) thats why nintendo backstabbed sony because sony had already backstabbed them.
It not only handed sony the rights to all or anything created for the technology but it basically meant sony was getting all the profits from it. Remember the majority of nintendos main titles are made by nintendo themselves, there the ones that profit from them, so basically what this did was slit nintendos throats because they would make games for the snes-cd but sony would get all the profit.
I'm glad they betrayed sony, it brought competition to the industry (Sega was already dying) just like microsofts coming into the industry has made sony stand up and realize that they can't screw around anymore. Competition brings out the best out of all sides, it makes they make there developers make sure that there are a steady flow of games for there platform and that those games coming out are high quality. (Sure they don't always get it right, psone and ps2 prove this time and time again).
Its common knowledge how much microsoft lost coming into the industry around here, obviously your new around here so i'll give you some advice, you can ask for links all you want, you will only get them half the time and acting blind to facts when they are presented infront of you means your a fanboy!
