Sony game unit sales fall

blah blah bah blah

that's what this article reads like

Damn didn't know it was that bad Sony. I'm sure there is no need to worry, Sony is known for being unbelievably obnoxious when it comes to resiliance. They'll manage.

i think i am done with sony. this maybe be the first gaming system with sony`s name on it i will skip. i am sure you all heard my story about my ps1, ps2,ps3 60 gig... well early this year i bought another thing from sony. the *psp phone* sony exphia or something like that. i have been switching each year upgrading my cell phones and i was able to get the psp phone for 50 bucks.i didnt get this phone because i needed a new 1. i just got to have fun with. it took great pictures and videos, great sound. came with 8 games includded. only problem i had with it was i couldnt accept pictures or anything besides normal texts from people. i didnt mind that too much. but last month my gf texted me and the screen was really dark? didnt know what was going on it showed no sings of anything wrong to that point.after i think about it a few seconds i try to power it off then turn it back on. too late! it was already off and will not turn back on at all. i know i have had bad luck with sony but i cant believe out of all the cell phones i have every had this would be the first and only one of my phones that ever straight up died on me! this is the final straw for me. i will not buy the ps4 or the ps vita now. i just dont trust sony on anything anymore. its a real shame because sony and the ps1 helped me get back into gaming. but after being burned sooo many times by them i have to say its over i done with em for good!

I feel like the guys at Sony have sort of lost their own magic.... They didn't even bother coming up with memorable start-up screens when you start a PS3 or Vita game. Starting a Playstation 1 or 2 game felt so satisfying? even the PSP had a decent start-up screen. As for the games, very few of them are memorable or charming in any way, and unfortunately I think the same could be said for most games of this generation. 

How dare they make an issue of this, do they expect to whine for sympathy when their prices fail in the arena of capitalism? To put it kindly, you guys knew exactly what you were doing with your pricing schemes and trends, so I don't know why this should be a surprise or even an issue except to Sony's chagrin.

soon sony will give up the console race, and just help create its games for nintendo and Microsoft at this rate lol.There is no way Sony can afford to keep going toe to toe with Microsoft this upcoming next gen console race smh.

As all the other systems are past their prime and have done their part for CEO and company, it looks like Vita is still the biggest problem for Sony. Not to mention PS2 and 3 have to contend with the imminent launch of Wii U; I don't see anything wrong with their numbers.

Lets be honest....ports don't work we'll on ps3, (skyrim,lol, fallout 3 freezes at lvl 30, Bayonetta, etc) you always come out over priced and underpowered, ( vita),( 256mb ram on ps3..(.Unless your fight with the poor cell processor..lol))??,, few great exclusives , you sell 3d movies to RENT for 8$,,. React to slow to the market and honestly seem like you don't care for your customers much.........

PS3 and PS2 figures arent bad i think, im pretty sure that they're down because of the PS2 figures not the PS3, u cant expect the PS2 sell out after 12 years and with the next gen beginning so soon

By adding more DLC sells, they could see more sell fall. It would probably encourage people to pirate games as well.

Vita hasn't been selling to well.. should have waited for a better line up and removed some unnecessary features to lower the price at launch. 

I hope SONY can start making more of a profit in all its gaming sectors. They have shown alot of commitment to the gamers with PS plus and the cross buy vita stuff.  Also buy Gaikai and things to innovate in the future. I think they're starting to realize when you offer added value people are more willing buy into it.

Not surprised. It does seem this gen is slowing down a bit with the anticipation of new consoles coming out soon.

It's pretty simple. Lower the price of your consoles, they aren't that good to warrant such a high price. 

I always chuckle when people start saying a company is going down the gurgler because they only made "this many billion" instead of "that many billion". I'd be happy with just a million! :P

So... its not a loss but lower than expected profits? 

Sony is going down the toilet and I say good riddance! And no it is not the video game branch that has made me hate Sony it is the fact they tried to screw me over a computer once and the high prices they charge for lower quality electronics.They were once known for truly HQ electronics,but those days are over. Samsung came in and kicked their asses in the HDTV sector by making cheaper higher quality sets over Sony although Samsung is beginning to drop the ball and LG and Panasonic are about to take Samsung down a few notches.

I got my ps3 250gb slim and MGS4 for $135 by trading in my xbox360 elite....stop bitching and tell MS where they can put their bargaining chips

must be because of their lack of innovative and highly rated games or dependable quality hardware

maybe they should have released a cheaper slim.

Meh not worried. PS3s have nearly caught up with 360 sales in recent years.Price cut and constant new IPs/first party IPs helped a lot.

I have a 360 but for the most part it collects dust.Mainly because i dislike Gears and Halo.Ill be getting Halo 4 but still i mainly use my 360 for Fable 2.

Multiplatforms i get on my computer and exclusives i get on my ps3.

PS4 news inbound.

Lol, Gamespot.com will report this tomorrow, but here you can have it now :

If the report is accurate, Sony will be using Blu-Ray again, which will drop the price of the PS4 considerably. The PS3 was so expensive at it was using proprietary Cell CPU, and of course the main culprit was the inclusion of the Blu-Ray Drive. Instead of  supporting some new format for PS4, they can re-use Blu-Ray and keep costs down to just CPU/GPU. That's what the 720 is going to do after all.

sit back on microsoft

and theyll get cha

theyre a pretty serious monopoly

and theyve got alot invested in xbox
