You should, if your planning on buying a ps5. Hell even the ps4 could go the way of the dreamcast if Sony doesn't start making money soon.

Also if Sony gives up on the PS then the 360 will basically have the game on lock with no real competition which would mean shyttier product because they wouldn't give a fukk... look at how EA's lack of NFL competition has them releasing Madden every year with very little improvement & still charging $60...

They felt NFL2k breathing down their necks & took out the competition cuz Madden was on its way to NBA Live status & EA pulled a bytch move...

Oh and this proves there is no way ps3 caught up to Xbox 360 systems sold.



:umad:

how? you have to consider what sony has been going thru this past year. changing of the guard, vita hit a brick wall out the gate, massive financial losses, giving away hella games and free ps+ subs...all that its a wonder they managed to profit at all. when they post actual red id worry

The article clearly says they sold less units than last year. In order to catch up and pass Xbox, they would have had to sell more units.

And Sony as a company has been loosing money overall for the last couple years. They're posting a whole lot of actual red

I live in the United States
keep it in perspective, a decrease in profit still means profit

just less of it. a lot less

:usure:

But the company is still not in profit: so far this financial year, the loss stands at 50.9bn yen ($650m). Last financial year the loss was just over 200bn yen at this point, so that shows significant recovery.
Thats not RED?

They lost 6.5bilion last year, 6th consecutive year in a row they lost money.
I am a gamer, I'm not wishing this. Its fact that sony was on the verge of ditching the ps3 back in 2007/8 range.
They paid off some movie studio's to pledge there allegiance to blu-ray
They didn't give a fukk about the game system, just wanted to push blu-ray players
Almost lost everything risking that. Still haven't made any money on it
And they basically never will because they thought blu-ray would be here to stay longer than it actually will be
We about to be in the totally digital age. We all know this, thats why nikkaz cryin about always on n shyt.

If the ps4 don't have some type of gimmick or a shytload of launch games that shyt on everything else?
This will be the last sony only system. They very well could join with Nintendo like they originally planned. They both Japanese companies
Maybe Sega would join them too, become the Trinity of Gaming :noah:

They never said they outsold Xbox. That was a rumor from a yet to be released consumer report, that speculated how many ps3 were shipped.

Sony fanboys took the news and ran with it saying ps3 outsold Xbox, but the truth is the report didn't even say that, and it wasn't even based on actual sales figures. And Sony never confirmed it to be true.
