Sony committing career suicide with the new PS3

<< < (3/7) > >>

Yep, losing $400 on every PS3 would be a suicide.
Of course, they're supposed to make profit by selling games but it'll be really hard to do
unless they rise the licensing fees on games (which would hit developers, who already have to cope with skyrocketing budgets)
or plan to keep PS3 on the market as their main video game system for at least 10 years.

^ As I predicted long before the 360 came out, the 360 will clearly win the 'console war' this time around, and Sony may even lose 2nd place to Nintendo.  Nintendo's Revolution is going to be extremely attractive to gamers, and to developers.  First, it'll have a lower price than either competitor's system, 2nd, it'll cost about half as much to develop for, and third, it has a revolutionary control system that will render every Revolution game exclusive to the system.  If the Revolution has 1 game you like, you'll have to own a Revolution because it'll be impossible to make the game for either other system without the controller.

Of course you may see Sony or Microsoft copy the controler, just like they copied Nintendo's analog stick for the N64... but the controller is so unique it'll be hard to mimic it without being sued.

A PS3 cost $900 to make? WTF? That shit better take me to the moon...

Trauma-san:
That's the whole problem.  It doesn't.  Like O has demonstrated with the specs in here before, it's only marginally more powerful than the 360.

I read in a mag (woz either NUTS or ZOO) that the PS3 woz bout 3 times more powerful than the 360 n that Sony wud definately b sellin em at a loss. But as 4 wen n price, ill guess we'll just hav 2 wait n c wen Sony decide they wanna sell it 2 us!
