But Blu-ray would have something to worry about though. It would also mean that DVD players might be able to play the disc. Which would mean that no one would need a Blu-ray player or disc. So while people who already have a Blu-ray player wouldn't have a problem getting the new movies, Sony would have a problem making money.
Plus remember the studios have always had a problem with there being enough encryption. They sound like they have enough. The studios would jump ship in a ...
They also have 16 to 20 billion in profits each year. While Sony has more debt than cash. Sony can't afford the 5-6 billion they have lost on PS3.
Sony lost over half of the profit in it's Electronics division last year. Microsoft is making record profits. There is a clear reason why Sony's stock price is dropping, almost every division is losing money or making very little profit. Microsoft's drop on it's stock is based on speculation and fear-mongering.
read Microsoft's adjustment. It's nowhere near Sony's. Microsoft's adjustment is a point or two while Sony dropped 57%.

The last time Microsoft had debt was many, many years ago. You need to get some new sources. Read an article about Microsoft's finances. They have over 30 billion in the bank and no debt.

Don't blame me for you being stupid.
But maybe you're right. Sony has made millions from the PS3. Blu-ray is doing better than DVD. Sony has the highest stock price in the world. They also have billions in the bank. You're not a ignorant fanboy. Microsoft is almost broke. Ken Kutaragi is working on the PS4 as I type these words.
But naw, you're just stupid.
Sony is struggling, period. You want to know where the 3.5 Billion figure comes from? It's called an Annual report. Corporations release them every year so investors can decide if their stock is worth buying. Sony's Games Devision lost 2.16 in fiscal 2007 and 1.16 billion in 2006. But people aren't adding the fact that the PSP and PS2 were making money in those years.At least a billion in profits. So adding that to the loss means the PS3 has lost over 5 billion.
And while Sony b...
The current market situation does hurt most companies, but it doesn't hurt all companies equally. Sony is not in nearly as good a position as Microsoft financially. Microsoft restated their estimates this week too, but while Sony dropped their estimates 57%, Microsoft dropped theirs by 1 or 2%. And Microsoft makes almost twice in a quarter what Sony makes in a year profit wise.
It does give more credibility to those rumors of the PS4 being an upgraded PS3. If they weren't true,...
Are you really comparing an estimate of 4.7 Billion in annual profit dropping down to 2 Billion in annual profit, with 5 billion in second quarter profits dropping down to 4.95 Billion in second quarter profits? Really?
Oh well.
While Sony has more consoles, their gaming division only had a profit of 51 million last year. Microsoft on the other hand had a profit of over 400 million for the year in their Devices division where Xbox is. And that is with cost in that division that have no possibility of making money. Advertising expenses for Microsoft productivity products like Office for Mac are in that division and that is 10s of millions alone. So if the 360 was separated from that division, it would be killing Sony ...
If I was a fanboy I wouldn't own any Sony products, I do. I base my decisions on facts. While I watch HD everyday, on cable(while it's not real HD, it's better than standard), I refuse to overpay for content. Blu-ray will only be for games in five years. Don't be surprised if it starts to disappear this January.
Just because people spend money on something doesn't mean it's successful. People bought Laserdisc too. They bought UMDs, Betamax, the original Divx, Mini-disc and Zip d...
Once again Mike Ferro proves he's a complete fanboy Ass Clown. While Blu-ray may have had 17% of the disc sales on one title, the rest of the Blu-ray titles sold next to nothing. With most of the top twenty selling less than 5,000 disc.
While UMD is only a PSP format, the PSP continues to sell well while most studios won't make movies for UMD anymore. The studios that do, release only some movies on the format. And even Sony is rumored to be moving away from UMD on the next PSP....
and the Arcade comes with a 256mb memory card, what exactly is the problem?
Besides, they say storage solutions are on the way.
I tried once, but the music and the whole hip hop thing threw me off. I'm a little tired of it. Plus the headlines tell you everything you need to know. While I'm not knocking him, it's not for me. But he's doing what he feels.
Bet you're a big God of War fan. Or Heavenly Sword, or should I say God of War with a girl. Everybody knows timed button mashing is the future right.
Who would have thought that money plays a role in the business of selling video games.
Yeah well, you enjoy that CGI video for the next two years while I'm playing gears next month.
And she was so excited about the proposal that she continued to play the game instead of calling him. Either this is fake or this relationship won't last. If it was real, she loves games way more than she loves him.
Fanboys support something based on nothing. Facts don't matter. They support games that suck just because they come from a certain company or are for a specific console. They buy a console because the company said it would be great.
What does it lead to:
Games begin to suck because companies stop trying. Fanboys will buy the game anyway, screw quality.
Console makers lie because they know fanboys will believe them.
And mainly it hurts gamin...
