not because i am a sony fanboy its because it doesnt really matter. nintendo's shares constantly go up and you dont see no one bashing, so why would you bash the ps3?

come on mart it is common sense shares go up and down, they are even worse with microsoft, but bigger companies take bigger risks and often get better results, so before u go to sleep happy, just think tomorows another day.

The bigger the company the bigger the risk?
RIGHT... Don't speak if you don't know.
The bigger the company the safe it is, the more volume it has. A company like MSFT with a Average Volume of 54mil. a day does not move up and down, or act as volatile as a smaller company does. If someone buys a million shares of MSFT the company will not move on that supply/demand. Smaller companies are riskier and subject to bigger loses depending on their results. A company like SNE is a loser right now, their company is doing bad everywhere. Not only is it losing market share to Samsung and others it also has the battery problem and still trying to take on iPod with the Walkman?

SNE hasn't done anything right, their stock is incredibly risky! Because, they are full of bad news. They apologise for the battery problem but they couldn't even do that right either. MSFT is a winner SNE is a loser, SNE was a winner some time ago but if they don't change their company i don't see anything good happening for them.

Actually it does. How long do you think a company can continue to lose money before they have to change things around. It is good to know microsoft is doing well, since that will affect the xbox 360 one way or another. If Sony continue to lose money they way they are and their stock continue to sink (on all divisions) how long do you think it will be before the PS3 itself be affected; and therefore the gamers. Plenty of companies that used to make the best console of all time which were considered stable are now gone as console makers (i.e. Sega, Atari, etc).

Every publicly traded company is in it for the money. MS, Sony, Nintendo....... all are in business to earn a profit for company owners and shareholders. If a company is not profitable their stock value drops, which in turn affects things like the ability to borrow money for new projects, upgrades, factories..., the amount of money people are willing to invest, or the ability to hire or keep top notch personnel...
To say a company is just in it for the money is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

You are correct, in principal it is just like that. But there are companies who do things with some philosophy, committing to something to accomplish something bigger. It's mainly up to visionaries that can convince the bo$$es.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
