PS3 can't do backwards compatibility well.

They haven't focused on that stuff in ages. They are almost entirely their game division.

[DragonBlaze]

They DO focus on other stuff. The sony vio or whatever their labtop is called is very popular. All their stuff is pretty much top of the line, and people are buying it. Yeah, maybe right now sony is focusing on their game system, but all their other stuff is still being sold and making a lot of money. Sony is doing very well right now. They're not going to go out of buisness.

Theres a difference in making a product and being focused on a product. Sony has the Vaio and whatnot, but they are spending more money and more time in developing their games division. They're trying to pioneer the PS, they're just adding bells and whistles to everything else.

[Dragonium]

There's a Vaio TV out now that's supposed to be "the next big thing". Sony ain't going out of business, because they're now so large they can come up with new interesting things easily. They make so much money from sales of new technology that it outweighs the losses they make on the PS3 easily.

Most technology-lovers (Lawl.) buy stuff just because it's new and made by a reputable company. I mean, Sony could release a DVD Rewinder (It spins! It whirrs! It does absolutely nothing, but you spend £249.99 on it anyway!), and it'd still get lapped up and called "this year's essential gadget".

[DragonBlaze]

Well as long as they keep making money in their other devisions, they'll be able to cover any losses that they make with the ps3, and thats what their doing. They may be losing money with the ps3, but overall they're still making money. Thus they're not going to go out of buisness.

[ZeroKirbyX]

Yeah, but I don't like Sony. Too bloody expensive. Magnavox tv, Panasonic VCR and an Acer PC.

[Osmose]

Vaio sucks anyway.

[Dragonium]

Wow, you guys really hate Sony. :p

[Razor]

It's true though, however unsuccessful the PS3 may be, Sony will still have all their other crap to fall back on. It's like all those people who think if the Wii dies, it takes Nintendo with it, whereas Nintendo still have their billions and all the success from their DS/L sales.

It prints money!

[DarkFlood2]

Well, Sony certainly won't be able to fall back on their laptop batteries!

I only hate sony because of their arrogant (and sometimes outright stupid) marketing, And the fact that they are forcing the Blu-Ray player onto people. If HD-DVD wins the format war, well, then the PS3 becomes just an overpriced console.

HOWEVER, I will get a PS3 as a cheap Blu-Ray player if Blu-Ray does win the format war, and even then it will be many years after the victor is declared.

Seriously, the Viao was released about a year and a half ago, and I haven't seen signs of a follow up.

The fact that they are so desperately pushing the PSP STILL, shows some fallacy in there fundings. They wouldn't be concerned and still be trying to sell them if they had enough money to completely ignore there oblivious failure.

[ZeroKirbyX]

Just because they have enough money that it doesn't affect them doesn't mean they're going to just sit back and let it fall. They're a business and they want money.

Somehow I can't stop thinking of Microsoft...

"It's Cheese you can listen to!"

The only thing cheese, is a good description for that ad.

Horrible marketing, next to none third part support (Konami and Capcom occasional spew out a game for it.) and ridiculously low battery life. If you don't recognize that the PSP is a failure, then you need to sit down and have a reality check, a very, very, VERY painful one, preferably to the face.

[GaryCXJk]

Strange, because, as far as I know, I never heard, neither from the gaming press nor the gamers, that the PSP ever failed.

You fanboys fail at life.
