SoE has lost a ton of money for Sony as a whole. If you read their quarterly share reports, SoE hasn't made a profit in quiet some time. EQ2 is doing better now, but it is nothing compared to the succes of WoW, and it is the only thing they have going for them right now. Blu-Ray so far has been recieving bad reviews and HDDVD is winning that little war, so that's another place Sony is suffering. If you truely believe Sony stands a chance in this next round, then you'd be one of the few, as all the analists have said otherwise. The only analists that say Sony wins in the end, call it in 2009 and 2010 as the years when Sony bulls ahead of the 360 in sales. So if those analists are correct, then I guess you'd be right.


MS is a much richer and doing much better as a whole than Sony overall, and with a large chunk of the gaming devs switching from being hardcore sony, over to supporting the new Xbox, it is a wonder how anyone can think the PS3 will do so well.

Keep in mind here, the big time Sony execs wanted to charge more for the PS3 because of how much money the SCE division has been losing. They said publicly that they felt $600 was to cheap considering their current position. Throw in that MS has a 10 million system lead on Sony, exclusives on MANY of the top games, MS tossing TONS and TONS of money at this latest console war, and now devs stating that the PS3 and the 360 are near on the same level as far as their hardware goes, I see no reason why the PS3 would win.

We live in a country where everyone is much more broke than before. We have mothers and fathers working just to make ends meet. It costs $40 to fill up little 4 cylindar cars. The average consumer doesn't have $600 to just throw out the window at a system that's questionable, when there are 2 other systems for half that price and less. Sony has not revieled any ace up it's sleave that would overcome all of these huge obstacles, so until they do, I personaly think they are set to fail.

Then the 100,000 PS3s in the US before christmas shit? What game dev wants to make and release a videogame that cost them millions to create, just to sell it to such a small audience?

Many questions like those need decent answers before I can look positivly on the future of the PS2
