Sony continues to lose money, no one sympathizes
Sony continues to lose money producing the PS3. Everything is still going according to plan.
According to Yahoo, Sony’s fiscal 2008 annual report showed the company has now lost approximately $3.3 billion since it launched the PS3 in November 2006. While PS3 costs may continue sliding down to reasonable purchase prices, video game enthusiasts are well aware most of the money is in the software.
Apparently, Sony’s game division saw sales jump up 26% and expect better numbers in the future with the release of Metal Gear Solid and Resistance 2.
Now we get to the fun part of the article: Will you still be buying a Playstation 3? The cost of the 40GB bundle is still $399.99 and $499.99 for the 80GB set. With that said, it’s time to do some mathematics. Actually, lets not. Math is boring. Point is, the PS3 is still pretty expensive. The excuse for buying one has drastically moved from, “It’ll be the best next-gen console,” to “It’s a Blu-Ray player.” Do we really need an excuse to buy a Blu-Ray player? Is the difference that noticible?
I don’t think so, but, honestly, I don’t know a lot of things.
I still want a Playstation 3. Hey SCEA, send me one so I can review some games. It’s win-win.
