Because the PS3 hardware have yet to return a profit maybe >_>
For your information i didnt hit the disagree button, but now that you mention it i will
"If Sony wasn't making a profit for each PS3 sold, then why are they looking to break even next year?"
Maybe because they plan to make a profit off the hardware NEXT YEAR, ever think of that?
Well this has nothing to do with their gaming devision since thats making them shed loads of cash, even with a pricecut they still make a profit with each sold console and then there's the record breaking attach rate for software
If anything they need to drop the Zune cause the iPod will always be top
"Plus a couple more titles that have yet to be announced"
I got a feeling there might be some unannounced show stealers inbound :)
Well i think its correct to say that the PS3 isnt doing as great as everyone expected it to especially when you look at the PS2
Well since the sales from the US and EU are enough to allow the 360 to outsell the PS3 by such a large margin WW Japan is starting to become less and less important
But its still selling better than previous years and the first xbox so its all good :)
Both LBP and MS2 failed to make the top 20, no wonder LBP is still struggling to reach that 1ml mark
I wonder if Sony is taking note, that their exclusive are failing to sell decently because if they're not Killzone 2 will be the next commercial failure because unlike a game like R2 it doesnt have a large following from its last installment

Where are the direct downloads WHERE?!!!
YAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
Sony is making it too easy for journalists to write this stuff
But from CNN!!! whos next Sky News..........oh wait
All the more reason R2 should of sold better :)
LOL You have to pay £4 to make a club AND then pay a monthly fee to keep it going
Damn XBL is looking cheaper by the day now that HOME has released
Why have hope for something which will never happen
Games published by Sony dont sell well because Sony's in charge of marketing and thats something they lack at or just dont have the funds to do
Why do you think a MULTIPLATFORM fps (COD 5) sold more on the PS3 than R2.......because Activision bothered to advertise
If price was the main problem then why did PS3 sales increase in japan when Pro Evo came out?, why did they increase in the EU when GT5:P was released? Because they were SYSTEM SELLERS!!! price isnt much of a factor if the game is a system seller
LBP, M2, R2 arent system sellers they are games which mainly only appeal to the people who already have a PS3 which is why there wasnt such a huge boost in sales in Nov. Sure a pricecut would help as well but the games (if they were syst...
This isnt really anything to be proud of, Gears 2 and COD 5 360 sold 3ml in Nov alone in just the US throw in L4D and you nearly outsell all the PS3 games put together
It really is quite disturbing just how few games PS3 owners actually buy
"Didn't MGS4 sell a sh*t load of hardware?"
It was more like the B/C bundle sold than the actual game unlike Gears and Halo which sold consoles without being bundled
Now they are true system sellers
Your wrong just because critics think a game is good doesnt mean the mass market will look at Wii Fit thats a system seller but was scored badly
If Sony started putting out some system selling games price wouldnt be as much of a problem and they'd be able to make some profit on software too
For a game thats using nearly 100% of the PS3's power its suspected to look as good as it does
Hopefully this time they can make the platforming elements actually platforming instead of just one jump = success no matter how you go about it
You guys dont quite get it do you?
Sony's gaming devision as a WHOLE has obviously been turning a profit thanks to software, the PS2 and the PSP
Its just the PS3 HARDWARE which is causing Sony not to hit their desired profits because they are still selling it at a loss
