Nintendo isn't making a loss with the Wii per console, as it was relatively inexpensive to make, using current gen (but still good) graphics tech. They spent time and money designing a new and already imitated input method. say what you want about wii but it is a financially safe product, and it has created a big buzz for taking a different path. Anonymous at 12:14 10/12/2006 you have to think, they might lose between 240 - 300 bucks per console at the current moment. The cpu, gpu, and memory prices to build the ps3 will eventually drop low enough, so they will only have to sell 5 - 10 games to make profit. Anonymous at 3:6 8/12/2006 Yep, I did and no reputable business or gaming new sites appeared. Anonymous at 19:24 7/12/2006 type sony lose money each ps3 into google I would link you, but i cant post links i dont think =/ dont accuse me either, i am 1:2 but i didnt post the thing about the $300 Anonymous at 15:6 7/12/2006 ps4? pfft, its all about ps10! Anonymous at 13:59 7/12/2006 @ 1:2 Uh, right. How does the explain your false accusations that sony lose $300 money by selling each console? I mean, It's nice of you to state the f**king obvious but I'd like some real answers. Ksat Modnar at 12:53 7/12/2006 why the f**k would sony think of makin another fancy dvd player when they cant get the first one right i think its about time they asked bill gates for help it seems it only took him two goes to make a great dvd and GAMES console up you arse sony why did you bother Anonymous at 1:2 7/12/2006 Lets put it a way you may understand better. Sony has spend thousands and thousands of dollars designing their Cell technology, bluray, and the other features and hardware in the PS3. Now, to get that money back - they must sell a certain number of systems. After they have sold that amount, every console they sell after that will be a profit for Sony. Anonymous at 19:30 6/12/2006 Lol, you guys don't know what your talking about 'Sony must lose money on their console so I can flame them even though I'm making s**t up' They don't lose any money on the consoles you stupid wanks. Give me a reliable source that says they do. Anonymous at 19:10 6/12/2006 Wow some people are stupid. Sony and every game developer will not make any money. In order for a game to make profit it needs to sell 500000 games each. Sony is losing $250-$300 on each system. There will be less than 500000 PS3's, and not every body is going to but every game. So pretty much it is screwed. Sony has a lot of money though. Anonymous at 14:42 6/12/2006 They make the profit by changing the accountants pen ink when he's not looking so when ever they lose money he's putting it in as black samm at 5:39 6/12/2006 How the fuc do they make a profit "right off the bat? when they lose $250 per console? Anonymous at 1:11 6/12/2006 @19:58 Actually, they make a profit right off the bat after console sales. Anonymous at 20:35 5/12/2006 Sony has to sell only 500,000 systems to make a profit. cat at 13:23 5/12/2006 "Anonymous at 21:4 1/12/2006 How is MegaGames biased?" Maybe their not bias, but if you look at the long term picture, I believe they would more often then not talk about the problems with the PS3 then any other "next gen" console. I might be wrong, but its just something I noticed with Megagames and their news articles. Anonymous at 6:11 5/12/2006 Playstation 4 sux Irvin700 at 23:24 4/12/2006 just wait in three years...i have seen the future, the video game market crashes! ....again!! mwahahahahahahahahahaha! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Anonymous at 19:58 4/12/2006 Anonymous @ 13:53 Yeah, I didn't see who wrote that but that's definately wrong. Sony needs to sell 25 games per console (assuming they get royalties of $10 per game) to turn a profit. Not 30. Sony loses $240 with the sale of each console. Anonymous at 14:20 4/12/2006 Yeah I'm sure Sony is spoiling their undergarments over this far fetched prediction. Anonymous at 13:53 3/12/2006 'sony needs 30 titles per PS3 to make proffit.' That's total bulls**t. mash at 11:6 3/12/2006 this probably has something to do with sony stating the ps3 should be around for 10 years, so naturally there gonna go into software or something. as long as they can make a profit they'll make consoles. NoBody at 14:10 2/12/2006 The original playstation only sold because it was easy pirate. And once all the ChavSc*m got a taste of gaming they stuck to it and brought the gaming world down to it's s**tty, STD infested, single mother level. Anonymous at 13:55 2/12/2006 "The demand for the console stemmed from its resellability, not playability. duh." If there were no demand for the console there would be no profit in reselling. Duh. Murton at 4:16 2/12/2006 Yuta Sakurai is a financial analyst, not a gamer. From the exec reshuffle he's noticed a software guy get leadership and assumed that Sony are going to go a software route because the same happened with SEGA. If he had been a gamer he'd probably remember that SEGA's first party games were their most popular whereas the opposite is true of Sony. Sony will continue to build consoles and continue to work with 3rd party developers to bring the widest and best gaming library possible to those consoles. Anonymous at 0:30 2/12/2006 sony needs 30 titles per PS3 to make proffit. Yeah, id say PS4 looks a bit arguabl. I personaly dont like sony nor PS3, but them also droping out of the game will lead to monopolic prices by microsoft so I do hope nothing as such will be. Anonymous at 0:24 2/12/2006 or it could be a scare? for people who unsure of getting it as of yet, to buy it sooner rather later? Anonymous at 23:50 1/12/2006 Imagine the death of the Playstation, it would be the first step towards a console-free world. Anonymous at 21:4 1/12/2006 How is MegaGames biased? They are simply reporting on a game related event. As it says in the article, the prediction of no PS4 was stated in the financial times and was quoting from Yuta Sakurai. Bias would be agreeing with the financial times article even before Sony has made any long term plans. The Sony statement basically says that as long as there is profit to be made they will keep making consoles. So as far as drawing a conclusion, any intelligent person knows we’ll have to wait and see how the PS3 fairs in the long term to know what Sony may do in regards to a PS4. C0nker at 19:56 1/12/2006 The demand for the console stemmed from its resellability, not playability. duh. literally.. a majority of people who bought the ps3 only did so to resell it for immense amounts of cash. we'll see what the ps3 has to offer in the future, but for now, it's just a very pretty grill. Anonymous at 19:6 1/12/2006 i believe it could also be that the ps3 hasnt even been out a month...bais megagames tsk tsk. Anonymous at 18:47 1/12/2006 the hell?
