Umm....

So because the PS3 is last in sales right now...it already lost.

This gen has just begun. MS got an advantage w/ a year long headstart. Wii and PS3 launched a year later.

PS3 is the most expanisve console...and it has the least sales...but when you think about it...Sony has made the same amount of money on the PS3 than the Wii has for Nintendo.

5 million PS3's at $600 = $ 3,000,000,000

12 million Wii's at $250 = $3,000,000,000

Not PS3' costs 599 euros in Europe and over $1000 in Australia...so it pretty much evens out...give or take $10,000,000 for both companies.

Now yes Wii is actually making Nintendo Money...while Sony is losing $150-300 on each PS3.

But still the same amount of money was spent. Now with the PS3 become less expansive the PS3 might sell better...who knows.

But to count the PS3 out already is really silly and stupid.

Did Rome become #1 over night? Did it fall over night?

Yeah, I agree with you.

Dunno what else to say. I can't see two sides to this argument, don't understand how anyone can count out Sony already.

Ps3 failed to meet expectations but it was their fault for poor resource management and poor design of the console. It isn't a complete failure but it isn't any where near the level it is expected to suceed in.

It is just hard for cows to admit that xbox 360 is doing wonderful considering everyone thought the ps3 would dominate the xbox 360.

yep, indeed.

whoever counts out Sony already are really lacking of insight. ever wonder why Xbots never mentioned the fact that Wii is released one year later and still sells more than X360?

And still the Wii outsold the x360, but the PS3 didn't. So the PS3 is a miserable failure.

Your just calculatting the price x amount and ur not including profits and %'s. So in other words, the WIi might make a 100$ profit on each sale while the ps3 loses 100$ on each sale... now who's the lucky winner?

You are right in a way!! Only a fool would say that this or that consol lost or had won because it's just too early!! The big games are just starting to come out for the PS3 and it will get a cheaper unit so who know what's gonna happen??

It's only failing if you compare it to the Wii or 360. If you don't compare it to the other consoles they are #1.

sony is losing a couple hundred bucks for each ps3 sold, but its not even near being a failure yet console is not even a year old. i sold mine because it had no games, i dont think i would purchase one in the future either 360 does everything i need in a game console, dvds are fine. But the PS3 is not a failure to early.

the PS2 is actually still a considerably current console as it still has the new games such as Guitar Hero 3 coming out for it while the gamecube and original Xbox are left in the dust. So Compare it to the PS2 and what do you think? Anyway I have a 360 and it ISbetter and yes I admit im a MS fanboy. :)

The only problem with this analysis is that the Wii was make profits right out of the box, the PS3 not even close yet.

I'm not sure how that makes sense or what you're trying to prove?Very few people seriously believe the PS3 will fail, but it has become something of an albatross around Sony's neck. I'm sure 2008 will see a huge increase in PS3 sales but whether its enough to drag them out of third place I doubt it.

I know, we'll just have to wait to see it's longterm success.;)BioShockOwnz

Just so you know, that 'just wait' joke is completely not funny, and in fact is fairly irritating. It's obvious the PS3 does need time, between 12-18 months from launch. It's like yelling at a newborn for not walking yet.

I understand that it's had a poor first ten months, but if you don't give it the 18 months it requires, then you aren't being fair, you're being an annoying fanboy.

it did not lose anything. however it has put itself in a hard place to get out of. The games have not lived up to the hype that sony was making at e3 05. The system is a great movie player, and supports the most likely successor to bluray. But what really kills the PS3 is the image of being over priced. even at this stage when it is fairly priced for anyone. The system does not have a killer app yet and the wait and see is not generating sales. The PS3 has more problems than any fan would like. even though it is a wonderful system. MAYBE SONY NEEDS TO LEARN TO HUMBLE ITSELF AND NOT THINK PEOPLE OWE THEM SOMETHING. Maybe Sony needs to realize gamers are not all for the whole we say our games are better, so they are. Maybe SONY NEEDS TO FIRE THIER PR TEAM AND HIRE ALL NEW PEOPLE. Cause the PS3 is an over priced system with no games according to the word on the street. And that is what Sony must overcome.

it's getting closed to being too late.

as much as Sony wants to think this gen will go until 2010, the harsh reality is that Sony does not determine the beginning and end of each generation. so if MS or Ninty feel cocky (as I'm sure they will) they will release their next iterations less than a year after Sony finally gets it's heavy hitters up to the plate.

one last little question? what do you call the person in 3rd place of a 3 man race?

what are you doing trying to compare net revenues? lol If you look at the gross margin comparison for wii and Ps3 it will be ridiculously slanted towards nintendo... because they are actually making money right nowwhile sony is losing money.. The stock prices tell it all. Net revenues dont produce game sales which = new exclusive IPs. Also, a large amount of non gamers purchased the Wii and PS3. Looking at game sales, its clear that xbox 360 has the most gamers of any console...the market segment that people want to make games for!

Sony needs to face it and cut their losses... by the time they get anything good going this gen, the gen will be over... MS will have a new platform in 3-4 years.... what is sony supposed to do, release another platform after they completely failed on PS3? No one will buy it as it will be obsolete.

Umm....

So because the PS3 is last in sales right now...it already lost.

This gen has just begun. MS got an advantage w/ a year long headstart. Wii and PS3 launched a year later.

PS3 is the most expanisve console...and it has the least sales...but when you think about it...Sony has made the same amount of money on the PS3 than the Wii has for Nintendo.

5 million PS3's at $600 = $ 3,000,000,000

12 million Wii's at $250 = $3,000,000,000

Not PS3' costs 599 euros in Europe and over $1000 in Australia...so it pretty much evens out...give or take $10,000,000 for both companies.

Now yes Wii is actually making Nintendo Money...while Sony is losing $150-300 on each PS3.

But still the same amount of money was spent. Now with the PS3 become less expansive the PS3 might sell better...who knows.

But to count the PS3 out already is really silly and stupid.

The PS3 has not failed yet and most likley won't, the failure has been the mediocre games. Sure I like Warhawk and HS and a couple of others but in comparason to the pile of great titles I have played the last 2 years on 360 the software is a joke.

If there was no other system to compare it to the PS3 would be looking pretty good.

what are you doing trying to compare net revenues? lol If you look at the gross margin comparison for wii and Ps3 it will be ridiculously slanted towards nintendo... because they are actually making money right nowwhile sony is losing money.. The stock prices tell it all. Net revenues dont produce game sales which = new exclusive IPs. Also, a large amount of non gamers purchased the Wii and PS3. Looking at game sales, its clear that xbox 360 has the most gamers of any console...the market segment that people want to make games for!

Sony needs to face it and cut their losses... by the time they get anything good going this gen, the gen will be over... MS will have a new platform in 3-4 years.... what is sony supposed to do, release another platform after they completely failed on PS3? No one will buy it as it will be obsolete.

[QUOTE="-D3MO-"]

Umm....

So because the PS3 is last in sales right now...it already lost.

This gen has just begun. MS got an advantage w/ a year long headstart. Wii and PS3 launched a year later.

PS3 is the most expanisve console...and it has the least sales...but when you think about it...Sony has made the same amount of money on the PS3 than the Wii has for Nintendo.

5 million PS3's at $600 = $ 3,000,000,000

12 million Wii's at $250 = $3,000,000,000

Not PS3' costs 599 euros in Europe and over $1000 in Australia...so it pretty much evens out...give or take $10,000,000 for both companies.

Now yes Wii is actually making Nintendo Money...while Sony is losing $150-300 on each PS3.

But still the same amount of money was spent. Now with the PS3 become less expansive the PS3 might sell better...who knows.

But to count the PS3 out already is really silly and stupid.

Did Rome become #1 over night? Did it fall over night?

That's not the point I was trying to get at...I know Sony is losing money on each console sold...I have already stated that in the OP. But when you look at it, fans are still spending money on the PS3. The same amount of money has been spent on the PS3 and the Wii...so the consumers are still investing in Sony prodcuts.

if that isn't a clear indicator of incredible delusion, i don't know what is.

so just keep waiting right? :D

That was just an analogy. Great things take time. Just because your not #1 today, doesn't mean you won't be in a year.

I know, we'll just have to wait to see it's longterm success.;)BioShockOwnz

Ummm...yes. How else will you know the result. Are you only looking in the short term?

[QUOTE="akuma303x"]it did not lose anything. however it has put itself in a hard place to get out of. The games have not lived up to the hype that sony was making at e3 05. The system is a great movie player, and supports the most likely successor to bluray. But what really kills the PS3 is the image of being over priced. even at this stage when it is fairly priced for anyone. The system does not have a killer app yet and the wait and see is not generating sales. The PS3 has more problems than any fan would like. even though it is a wonderful system. MAYBE SONY NEEDS TO LEARN TO HUMBLE ITSELF AND NOT THINK PEOPLE OWE THEM SOMETHING. Maybe Sony needs to realize gamers are not all for the whole we say our games are better, so they are. Maybe SONY NEEDS TO FIRE THIER PR TEAM AND HIRE ALL NEW PEOPLE. Cause the PS3 is an over priced system with no games according to the word on the street. And that is what Sony must overcome.3picuri3

it's getting closed to being too late.

as much as Sony wants to think this gen will go until 2010, the harsh reality is that Sony does not determine the beginning and end of each generation. so if MS or Ninty feel cocky (as I'm sure they will) they will release their next iterations less than a year after Sony finally gets it's heavy hitters up to the plate.

one last little question? what do you call the person in 3rd place of a 3 man race?

Yes, I'm sure all those people who bought a 360 almost 2 years ago already want to buy a new one from MS in 2 years especially with the hardware problem.

WILL IT EVER END? You bring NOTHING new to this already exhausted discussion! you are about two days late and a dollar short. If you were going to start yet ANOTHER thread about the "PS3 fails" PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD say something relevant! Not something that has already been said to ad nausium! Just because you're a Sony fanboy and get mad when you see threads about the "PS3 failing" does not mean you need to create a thread to whine about it!

LOL sony is still king. why you think they wont let go of the ps2. You relize its ps2/ps3 vs 360 vs wii. When you think about what consoles are in stores and are still bring in revenues. As long as sony uses the ps2 bring new gamers to the market sony wins. You guys dont understand that sony will milk ps2 until ps3 gets its wings. Sony as a good history of slowly transfer their consumers to next product in line.

Wait are you telling me that this gen will end before 2010? LMAO GTFO...lol

MS still has yet to turn a single dollar on the Xbox franchise....the 360 might do it for them if they don't have any more big **** ups...like the $1b to fix broken consoles.

Nintendo is making a killing....they are worth over $80b right now....gettting lots of support...selling great....Nintendo doesn't care about technological advances anymore.

Sony is in last place....having taken a huge risk w/ blu-ray, they're doing everything they can to recoup losses...and hope that blu-ray becomes dominant....because if it does sony = win.

The 3rd party developers are just getting used to developing for the consoles right now...so this gen will be here for a long time.

PS1/N64 = 1995 - 2001

PS2/XBOX/GC = 2000-2006

PS3/360/Wii = 2005-2011...minimum.

As for your last little question....you call him last....but before a race if he's in the 3rd postion starting out...did he already lose?

Just so you know, that 'just wait' joke is completely not funny, and in fact is fairly irritating. It's obvious the PS3 does need time, between 12-18 months from launch. It's like yelling at a newborn for not walking yet.

osirisomeomi

Babies learn to walk and say their first words within the first 10 months of their life. Anything after is considered ok but not normal. Therefore they have already gotten thier first killer app (Since you want to compare babies to games).

Who knows. If after a price drop and the christmas shoping season, the PS3 still lags, then it might be a very bad sign. But if sales pick up and sit at a steady pace, there may be hope.

PS3 already has a couple of killer apps....R:FOM is awesome....Ratchet and Clank:TOD = Great, Ninja Gaien Sigma = Great, Oblivion = AAA, and a couple of other games.

So yeah nothing major but contrary to popular belif the PS3 does actually have a number of great games.

Also since a baby doesn't learn to walk fully in its first year...the PS3 doesn't have anything killer its first year...if your using the baby analogy

Yeah, Sony sell it at loss.
