@ kushan.
the ps3 has to clear about $4 billion in losses... that is, if and when it eventually becomes profitable.
http://www.n4g.com/industry...
The 360 has already recouped the 1bn rrod loss. The original xbox losses (also about $4 billion) have been written off.
MS is to be congratulated on their new profitable business model.
Juuken.
Why do you always need to SHOUT?
It makes you look quite silly.
Are you afraid no one will listen to you?
Did Daddy not give you enough attention when you were young?
Is that why?
i find it interesting that kz2 is not even out yet, AND we already we have other games which purport to be as good/better looking.
perhaps kz2 will raise the bar, but let's not forget that it won't be long until we see kz2 trumped. probably on a competing console. The one with a better gpu.
what was its name again?
yeah uh...
sony momentum?
i heard that nov/dec 08 were worse than nov/dec 07.
sooo...uh... that implies Sony's momentum is going backwards, right?
if that is the case, then why would the 360 want to interfere with it?
it seems to be doing fine on its own!
XD
@ Snow.
Hey good for you.
Normally I get a hardon in the presence of attractive ladies, but in your case, if video game trailers get you that excited, then who am i to judge you?
:)
Is this author for real?
Haven't MS just announced their biggest xbox sales season EVER?
Didn't MS broaden the 360 install base lead this year?
Haven't MS just announced a Q2 profit of 4.17 billion
Doesn't MA have $20 billion in cash?
Hasn't the 360 gaming division been profitable for nearly two years?
I guess the author wanted hits to his website?
yeah little johnny
you keep spouting nonsense.
please show me the published evidence that the ps3 outsold the 360 in 2008. I am thinking that, in fact, the 360 destroyed the ps3 Sooo severely that the ENTIRE year of ps3 gains were wiped out in nov/dec and the 360 came out the winner worldwide for 2008
And, if you do find some links, please make sure you show that you understand the difference between Financial year and calendar year reporting differences...
well kyur, it's the open zone.
the mods are trying to keep the open zone clean.
Hence anything that gets 2 or more 'reports' gets flagged for review by the mods and is frequently deleted.
hopefully, by writing j/k, people can see the humour of my comment and won't report (at least not straight away) like little children
As you know, people are touchy about their choice of plastic and silicon.
One mustn't upset them.
There seems to be a ...
whut?
an insult from somebody's multiple account?
Sell it and buy a 360 and Wii.
turn it off?
j/k
Silogon does it too.
sad isn't it?
any monkey can write a blog/website and post it to n4g to get hits.
but leon
Most recently the sales have been going backwards.
Just compare the month of nov, dec 07 to the monthe of nov, dec 08.
I am expecting more of this.
yeah guys. I didn't mean to offend you, so chill out a bit, huh?
All i meant to highlight is that:
1. the ps3 has lost over $3.31 billion in development and production.
2. the ps3 loss is *still* growing
3. The world is in a recession and Sony is going backwards.
4. I find this troubling, because I want Sony to stick around and compete to make the gaming market efficient
I did not want this to be flamebait, so I have no idea why you guy...
wow. i just got 4 disagrees in the space of 5 minutes!
Well done Juuken. A new record of switching accounts and pressing disagrees with your multiple accounts?
Those big macs sure are giving you lots of mouse-clicking-energy, huh?
--------------------
hey jojondaspot
nice rant. but wrong. there are people on here that track my comments for the sole purpose of adding disagrees... no matter what the comment was.
Interesting ...
because it is not wise for any business to be paying staff that is not producing profitable revenue.
Did i really have to spell it out for you?
yes, you are right. the links were cut off.
here they are again:
($3.31 billion losses)

($50 loss per ps3 sold)

(profitability?)

would like to see more RTS games on the 360.
I still have starcraft on my pc hard drive.
"forcing OEMs to include competing browsers"?
The EU Union needs to get a grip.
It is one thing to legislate against monopolistic practices in a capitalist economy.
It is entirely another thing to revert to socialism.
People already have a choice. If they are too stupid to realise, then kudos to the company that is smart enough to profit from it.
Haven't they read "Atlas shrugged"?
Lol.
I am not stalking you Juuken. I am commenting as a 360 fan in the 360 section. What are you doing here, Juuken?
you are trolling the 360 section, but accuse me of stalking?
get a grip my dear Miss-crazy-attention-whore.
Looks like that one came back to bite you in your big lard-ass, huh?
