Well, that sucks for them. Not to mention a lot of Japanese developers are developing for 360, as well, like Square.

There's this rumor that Ps3 can cause hallucinations and make people "eye stupid". Is it true?

The only reason why I'd ever buy a PS3 is for the RPG games however I'm waiting for the price to drop more.

Saw it coming. I'll think about getting either a 360 or PS3 in 5 years.


I think the PS3's hardware is ahead of it's time (as it's so new and expensive). As it says, it's priced below it's production cost. The next gen is when the Ps3 similar hardware will be more common and cheaper.

Sorry, you know how I am. Now all I need is for something bad to happen to 360... Mwuahaha!

Saw this coming, but didn't realize that it was from the production cost, figured it was 'lost sales' because of the price tag


RE: Sony has lost over $3 billion on the PS3 - Badassbill - 06-28-2008

Same thing happened last generation. It evens out over the life span of a console. Sony won't end up losing anything.

Are there any other businesses that do that sort of product pricing, or is the gaming industry the only one who sells a main product at a loss to make it up with additional products?
