[QUOTE="spiderluck"]hahaha at all the cows...downplaying the worldwide lead....can you imagine the wild dancing in the streets, the jubilation.fist pounding and jovial bonhomie of the cows if the situation was reversed...thank god for justicekbanna

hahahaha at the lemming jumping in joy at a small sales lead.:lol:

You PS3 fans are completely missing the point. the 360 has increased the gap by another 2 million last year. PS3 had the lead down to 2.1 in sept 2011. now the lead has grown to 4 million again. Its this fact thathas more relevance then anything else. The PS3 had a price drop last year....and the 360 lead INCREASED. That is what you need to take note of

In what you need to take note is if they did , they did it by selling the kinect and having one of the worst lineups last year in there 5 year history. As a owner of the 360 I can say the system was beyond terrible . The 360 is winning because its appealing to the fat soccer moms and there children not becacuse its delivering the best gaming content.

Lol at the jelly PC gamers bashing the graphics

Must suck that most great games nowdays are console exclusive

My PC is just gathering dust since even most multiplatform games aren't even getting a PC port

Jankarcop

The only good multiplats are on PC, and much better on PC. PC has a bigger library. Dozens of PC games look better than TLU.

Um No not really this is coming from someone who owns a pc that is far more powerful then either of my consoles. Simply put most pc games are the console versions in higher res. You get a few exceptions but TLU is still far better looking then most pc games.

I agree. Sony would be absolute morons to go for more bleeding edge tech for PS4, which will cost them more billions in the long run. They've already wiped out 2 console generations worth of profits alone (PS1 & PS2) & possibly have about a $4 or $5 Billion loss thanks to the PS3 itself.

PillyChickle

I havent been on gamespot in awhile but after reading all the nonsense in these forums I felt the need to create another account. Anyways Sony's gaming divison is one of its few bright spots. The PS3 has turned an overall profit for the company im not sure why its so hard for kids in system wars to understand that. If anything you should respect sony for actually pushing the envelope when it comes to tech instead of relying on the dollars of fat soccer moms. Regardless if Sony really wants to turn things around they need to focus on there smartphone, tablet and TV business. Smartphones and tablets have hgh profit margins and the TV business is whats been killing them .

The PS3 has NOT turned any overall profit. What are you talking about?

Yes it has it started overall profit in 2010. http://www.gamepolitics.com/2010/06/29/sony-finally-making-profit-ps3-hardware

Sony will be fine, probably just the TV and Movie part of Sony struggling.

groverslanding

So blind faith then amirite?

There movie section actually went up 7.7 % it was actually doing well for them last quater. Its the TV, Smartphone and Vaio divison which is the problem.

Doesn't look as good as the trailer. Shocker.

I dont really see a big diffrence , However the game does have great visuals especially since the system will be nearly 6 years old by the time its released.

One thing is certain. Sony can't afford as bad start as PS3 had. They lost billions that time. Sony will be playing safe with PS4. They have to.

ronvalencia
Before PS4's release, Sony has to cut thier excess cash outflows.

They need out source there TV's as manufacturing them in Japan is simply to expensive. They also need to focus on smartphones and tablets as they are a easy way to make high profit margins. I think they are headed in the right direction as they have 2 quality phones coming to AT@T in the next few months

[QUOTE="CanYouDiglt"]There is no way to know how much money was made from the PS3 or playstation as a whole. Sony fans keep saying the PS3 brings in so much money but no one knows. The only thing we do know is the division Playstation is in just lost over $1 billion.CanYouDiglt

That may be the only thing you know, or rather want to know, but it isn't all the information available.

There are no exact figures, but it has been stated that the PS3 remains profitable at its new pricepoint and it is known from earnings call transcripts that the game business is profitable.

(I'm not sure why people keep converting things into $US) but as stated ~$860 million was a paper loss - a write-down towards lost value from the sale of half of a joint venture with Samsung.

What the hell are you arguing with? If you have exact figures on how much the Playstation or just the PS3 made or lost then post it. I am saying there is no way to know how much was made or lost. You give some vague answer of remains profitable. Well damn $1 can be remaining profitable. Like I said the only numbers I have seen are the division Playstation products are in lost just over $1 billion.

I think he is arguing with you because it seems most the xbox fanboys are contributing Sonys financial troubles with the Playstation brand and the fact is thats not the truth. The Playstation brand is one of the few things keeping them alive.
