SCE (only Playstation products) are not profitable with the PS3 being a $249 machine.
When MS introduced their slim console, costs went down as well and MS kept the price the same and still people were buying 360s like hotcakes.
How about Sony / SCE actually becomes profitable before they fight a war, that is already over?
MS kept the same price like 2009 and managed to be highly profitable with the 360 and even outsell their competitors in 2...
If the 149 € part is true, Sony needs to change their management sooner than later.
SCE (and ONLY SCE) just lost 1.2 billion USD last year.

Sony overall reported a 6.4 billion loss just 3 months ago.

That is one way to put it.
Another way would be that Sony has to bring up new IPs, because their new IPs flop. Whenever Sony has a successfull new IP they start milking it like everybody else does.
Uncharted (2007)
Uncharted 2 (2009)
Uncharted 3 (2011)
Uncharted: GA (2011)
Resistance(2006)
Resistance 2 (2008)
Resistance: Retribution (2009)
Resistance 3 (2011)
Resistance: Burning Skies ...
How can a company overship? Do they force retailers to buy their consoles even though they couldn't sell it to consumers?
Overshipping is not even possible. If so, every company would do this. Sony for example would be stupid not to do this. You know that the manufacturers get their money from the retailers and not the consumers, right?
BUT BUT BUT Downloadable games do not count!
Blaming MS or any other manufacturer is always the easiest way.
How could Nintendo handle a 500 million - 600 million USD investment to get Rare back? And why should MS sell a studio they are investing in?
I doubt it.
The gap is 3.3 million my friends.
And PLEASE let the intelligent people on N4G not be a minority. Losses for the EDD are due to Nokia payments, Surface R&D and Windows Phone 8 R&D.
Overall losses are due to 6 billion USD write off. Adjusted profit would be 7 billion USD in the past 3 months! That is pretty big.
1.1 million is decent for a console that old.
15% increase of XBL users is very healthy.
Shares are up almo...
And I will preorder the Xbox 720 TWICE.
One for the living room, one for the bedroom. And I will invest in a new TV with the next generation of Xbox. Probably Samsung. You can't go wrong with Samsung.
It will last at least 18 months! -.-
yup, here you go with the facts:
Number of 360 games shown: 17
Number of PS3 games shown: 7
Number of 360 exclusives shown: 11
Number of PS3 exclusives shown: 5
Number of new announcements (games we did not know about before E3):
Xbox 360: 7 (Dance Central 3, Lococycle, Matter, Ascend: New Gods, Splinter Cell Blacklist, SouthPark, Nike+)
PS3: 2 (Wonderbook and Beyond)
All this ...
I agree 100%. Kinect was not even the main focus of the press conference.
Of course MS announced way more games than Sony, but I think a site called planetplaystation.com is not as unbiased as you would have thought.
what a flop the Vita is.
Well only one of those titles is set for a 2013 release. Halo 4, Deadlight, Forza Horizon, Dance Central 3 are all 2012 titles.
With Fez, Trials Evolution, The Witcher 2 or Alan Wake American Nightmare the Xbox 360 already some very good exclusives this year.
I have Halo 4 on pre-order, but I can't wait to see Halo 5 on a new hardware.
I will be buying every Halo ever made, because it is a great series and I have the money to do so. Not trying to sound arrogant, but that is the case. I remember when I was in school, college etc and did not have the money.
I am sooo looking forward to this game, not only because it is Halo, but to check out what 343 is capable of.
I don't think this will happen, but IF it does, it means game over for Playstation. Europe and NA would be in MS hands. And no, CoD is not on its way out. Therefore the successor needs to sell less than the predecessor and this has not happened since 2006. In fact CoD is still rising. The top3 Playstation games are all CoD games.
This would be as huge as Warner Brothers going BluRay only against HD-DVD.
Again I don't see it happen.
"Market capitalization (often simply market cap) is the total value of the tradable shares of a publicly traded company; it is equal to the share price times the number of shares outstanding. As outstanding stock is bought and sold in public markets, capitalization could be used as a proxy for the public opinion of a company's net worth and is a determining factor in some forms of stock valuation."
Sonys market cap: 12.86 billion USD.
So for 12.86 billio...
Dante your sources are outdated.
Sonys worth TODAY is 12.86 billion USD.

For those of you who have no idea how that works: market cap is the one you have to look for.
Activision Blizzard is at 13.2 billion USD

How can they when I have Halo 4, Resident Evil 6, Splinter Cell Blacklist and Tomb Raider on preorder?
3 out of these 4 games are either exclusives or have exclusive DLC. Gears of War Judgement will join the party as soon as I know something about a limited edition. That makes it 4 out 5.
And don't get me started with XBLA this year. Deadlight, Minecraft, Fez, Trials etc. None of those games can be played on another console.
Sure there i...
