Yet even more proof of the 360 carrying and dominating the PS3

 Articles like this are not hard to come by, and a lot of people like me can't help but wonder just how much money Sony will have to lose on the Playstation 3 and the company as a whole before they start realizing it's just easier and more financially feasible for them to just abandon console manufacturing and make games, much like Sega did.

Before you know it they'll be following Circuit City into bankruptcy.

Have Microsoft made any money on their xbox franchise yet?

I know it sells well but between warranties and them throwing money left and right for exclusives, I'm not really sure they have seen an actual profit overall.

Microsoft can afford to lose billions, Sony cannot.

"and the console happens to be selling less than any currently produced console (including the PS2) nearly every month on end,"

I stopped reading right there.

[QUOTE="-DrRobotnik-"] oh god, just reading sony erriccson there has sent me into a rage lol. Boy have those phones went down hill, ive sent mine in 3 times to carphone warehouse already, and im stuck with this piece of **** until March when my contract runs out:(SpruceCaboose

I have the w910i. It looks great, fells solid, screens pretty good, and most of all, with my headpohones my music sounds brilliant, as good as any mp3 player, the USB cable is brilliantly fast for transferring files, the motion sensing is good for photos and music, the buttons for texting are great too. And its the phone make to get, just about everyone I know has an erricson. Its in, thats it.

And Ive never had a problem with one :)

[QUOTE="-DrRobotnik-"][QUOTE="NinjaMunkey01"] Sony has enough money, the money made from bravia TV's and sony erricsons is enough.FirstDiscovery

read the article, its freakin halarious. In the midst of making several valid points, I read this:

"Everyone who wants HD movie playback will have to get a Blu-Ray player, eventually. So why has Sony not used the PS3 to leverage sales from the consumer electronics market?"

ROFL! forget marketing the PS3 for gamers, just sell it as a stand alone blu-ray player, that'll help Sony out of the hole! 

funny article guys.

wow ur just underestimating sony ...they hav'nt even ditched their last concole yet and u think they failedkemar7856

to be fair, they havent ditched their last console because the PS2 is a huge success and Sony's actually making money off PS2 console sales.

The thing is, the Xbox's time has mostly past. There are almost no AAA titles coming (except for ones that are on PC as well, like Alan Wake), and Sony has the better hardware to accomodate a next-gen evolution.

Plus, the PS3 has Home and Killzone 2.

Yes, I knew this would happen. All fanboys just earned themselves a doctorite in economics and are beginning to spout this stuff. It is undeniable, yes Sony has lost a proverbial F-Ton on the PS3. It is what happens with the sum of bad decisions mixed in with good ones. It isn't all bad, and alot of the success that the PS3 is receiving now is a result of that.

Big name publishers like EA and Activision are making more Next-Gen sales money on the PS3 worldwide than any other console, that is FACT. Even Sony started turning *some* profit on a worldwide scale off the PS3 (these results were released at a conference this weekend in Europe). So to say it is all bad and that they should stop making consoles and retire to just making games is like telling MS to stop making operating systems and just keep making office and networking software.

Oh thats right. In the world of fanboys, double standards run rampant. In that case, how about we look at a few other facts. MS lost a little over 6 BILLION(!!!!!!!) DOLLARS in Windows Vista. You read that right folks, this report was filed last month, and if you were to read it you'd think why would they try to ever make an OS that isn't XP again.What is worse is that loss wasn't just because people didn't buy Vista, but there was a huge number of people buying Apple PC's and laptops. But next summer we will be getting the fantastic working (and looking) Windows 7, which will hopefully recoup MS' operating system's division.

My point that i'm making is that the best companies in the world who manufacture the products we use daily are all founded financial risk decisions, there are no safe bets in the business world. MS lost a ton on the original Xbox, it didn't stop them from making a new one. Gamecube was a console flop, didn't stop Nintendo either.

Honestly fanboys, stop caring about the future of these consoles you hate so much. Why does it affect you? You have no intention of buying their products or playing their games. Yet now, you want Sony to turn into a 3rd party game developer. If you don't wanna buy their system to play their games, now you just wanna play their games on your system of choice. It isn't like the two consoles are that different outside of their respective online networks. Just go out and pick up another console if you wanna play their games that badly.

I find that very hard to believe that 2 brand new ps3's just didnt work. The xbox elite you bought will probably break in a year and we will hear another sob story about it. Sony's hardware is 10x better then the 360 and yet you say you bought 2 and they both broke? If you want a 60 gig go on ebay or Criegs list it is your fault you waited until now and if i were sony i wouldnt care." Early bird gets the worm". 

yes ms makes more money in a quarter than sony does in a yearnaruto7777

I hope so they are a monopoly

i agree to the above post...and yeah the TC doesn't realize that sony's gaming division is the main source of profit...they've been getting more and more profits this year, so for sony...2008 was the year for THEM...and to compare it to circuit city is just ignorant and naive...the gaming division isn't sony's only source of profit...i hope to God sony never abandons the gaming market...same with nintendo and MS...these three game companies know how good the industry's becoming...

Why is it so hard to believe ?, the only flawless model of the PS3 is the 60 GIG, the flawed model was the 40 GIG, which is of course what the 80 GIG is , but just has the larger hard drive, plus i didn't even mention when i did return those 2 defective PS3's the gamestop guy's had 4 more defects behind the counter waiting to be shipped back to Sony claiming their most recent shipment was bad. As for my 360 Elite, it was manufactured in 2008, so i highly doubt it will go Red Ring, it's possible, i've had 2 360's before this from 2005 and 2006 that went RROD on me, but supposedly the latest models have a larger heat sync and an updated chipset that runs cooler, but yeah it could still happen, but so far so good, and i've played it for as much as 6 hour's straight. Sony's crowning achievement is their 60 GIG model period, it had the most bang for the buck and was as durable as a tank, and they discontinued it and started putting out a stripped down, glitchy , faulty piece of hardware, that at this rate is no better quality than a RROD 360. Whether you want to admit it or not makes no difference facts are facts, here in the forums, articles in the papers and all over the internet have made it clear, just as they did when the 360 RROD's we're running rabid, but this time Sony boys don't want to hear it, they still want to convince them selves that they have the most reliable hardware on the market and as of today it's no longer true.

The only thing the PS3 40 GIG has over 360 is a blu-ray player, thats all, thats it, it doesn't even have a hard drive as big as either 360 on the market, 360 pro 60 gig HD, 360 Elite 120 GIG HD, plus both 360 models listed here come with HD component and HDMI cables and a wired headset. As far as reliability goes the old RROD thing is not too valid with 2008 model 360's, so that card is played out already, 40 and 80 GIG PS3's, however have a 3% failure rate, which doesn't sound like much, but thats about 1 out of every 10 or 12 sold, so i wouldn't go spouting off about reliability too much.
