Official PS3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. N. Revolution

MS jun04 8,168 net income After taxes
Sony mar0 894 net income After taxes
nitendo Mar04 315 net income After taxes

 

1/10 of one years annual income? That won't put a business out. Look at Microsoft, they ate a loss on the XBOX and still made a new one. I really am not trying to straight up defend Sony, I will own both XBOX 360 and PS3 in time, its just that Rap4life's and many others arguements against Sony seem very very groundless to me. Look at the airline industry many of those companies take loss after loss year after year and are still in business. I couldnt find a year when Sony put a loss on the board. Rap4life, I will quote you that Sony will be broke by the time the PS3 gets launched (you asked) cause it just doesnt make any sense to me that they would be out of business, the numbers dont make any sense, read the annual balance sheet for Sony. And you can quote me that they will still be in business to launch PS4 (or whatever they call it) in at least a contention spot for head of sales. Though my ammatuer forecast is for them to still be #1 by the time that round comes out.

Sony isnt the first company to get sued, its going to happen, and yes it will hurt them profitably. However it wont stop them from selling a butt load of consoles because most consumers don't really care.

Take a look at that stock chart, they take a hit in mar/apr (contributed by the lawsuit and a sagging stock market at the time) but have since recovered some of it and are continuing an upward trend, that doesnt sound like a company on the verge of defaulting.

Give me some credit, I am a marketing/econ double major. They are far from dying.

Rap4life you need to get your facts straight. who ever said the ps3 will sell for $500, they are aiming for $299 to keep the price reasnoable. Also where the hell does hitler enter the arguement you dumbass. Other than that, get some more sources. Don't rely on xbox.com and M$ to give you non-biast information.

WVengance, i mostly agree. But isn't it cool to be able to have all those multimedia options without extra gadgets. And sony online is unproven, might be good, might suck. I hope it lives up to live, otherwise i will be envyous when i get the ps3.
The blu-ray might not be a bad thing, the dvd was successful even though most people believed it would never happen. The extra storage is also excellent for future games. Also the ps3 will be (rumours here) able to rip dvd films and convert to hd. then be able to burn them back onto dvd's. (not blu-ray though . And it does support dvd games aswell for those producers who don,t want to use blu-ray.
Ok so the bluetooth was not the best of ideas, but as you yourself said, even 4 is enough. When it comes to HD, the prices will fall. Rapidly. As prices always have on electronics.

Yes the GB has outsold the ps, but only by1 million. The total gb sales including gb, pocked, colour and advance is 183 million. Ps ans ps2 sales reach 182 million. And ps is younger than gb, and will overtake them very soon.

WVengence, good arguements. Rap4life, unserious and bias arguements. Get some more points of view fanboy. Dont rely on xbox.com and M$ for info that is not bias.

 

does this show how many x box's compard to PS2 were sold in the us and not in europe or asia

 

Last I had heard (almost a year ago) total unit sales put Sony at about double what MS and Nintendo had sold put together. Just stating what I read, sorry I cant jot down where I read it, some game magazine.

 

When Sony is saying the the PS 3 will kill the 360 people said it, ur the bics one. i look at both fact, how do u think i found this web site i went to yahoo search and typed Xbox360 vs PS3. i Saw both sides and the 360 will be mine. If sega had a new console at the sametime as the 1st xbox came out i would have got the Sega. If PS3 fans can say stuff about 360 why can i say the opps. And sony will lose money because the PS3 like the xbox360 and most consoles will lose money. $500 comes from sony need to make money faster, at MTV.com about E3 said it will be atless $364. the PS3 will cost more then the xbox. i cant buy both i only could get one like most of poor america. I only care What i will like more, the PS3 controllers look bad, ok i thought the X box controller will be big but now i love them now unlike the PS2. The hitler thing was wrong im Sorry, but i just used true fact about that

 

Thx for stating the exact numbers for incomes on the three big guys rap4life. Remember though, all three companies sell more than just consoles. The idea is not that those numbers are product specific but that all three companies are well in the green still and definitly will not shut down. We all knew Microsoft made more than Sony which made more than Nintendo. Ill see if I can get numbers on the consoles, that may be harder to find though.

 

i now but i was saying is that most Xbox's we sold in the USA unlike PS2.

 

I went to a web site that said sony lost 1.3 million to a Cell phone recall but i cant find it anymore.
_____________________________________________________________________
And another one that say Sony other thing arent saling as well, and they buy US stuff to put in their products then sale them in the US
_____________________________________________________________________
I dont have any Sony products most are cheap, and i dont know if a 10 year old boy made it, so i can save money

 

the 360 are tring to get the PS People by making cartoonish RPG games will Japanese companies.
only X BOX 360 RPG.

$500, i think not. The price is extimated by sony at $300. That may change, but most ppl won't pay much more than $300 anyways. Well i would but there ya go.
Don't underestimate the fanbase, which ps has a lot of. There are more ps fans than xbox fans, even in the US.
I don't like xbox partially because of M$, but mostly because i think that ps is the better way to go. It has more good games suck as the ff series, mgs series, gt series etc. The ff series is coming to xbox, but several years late^^

 

ok. finally got the article posted properly. you can get it here.

the 360 will have 200 games after its 1st year. They are going to Have alot of games for only X Box360 like, 60-110 will be only for 360
and u will be able to play ur fav music on it. With New RPG 360 will have depth with qullity. MGS looks it wont be fun at all. it looks cartoonish in game play. Like a japanses cartoon.

Square Enix adds to strategy in postconference Q&A
Yoichi Wada-led session sheds light on Final Fantasy XI; Xbox 360 gamers will share servers with PC and PS2 users.
LOS ANGELES--On Tuesday, Square Enix opened a Q & A session, where president Yoichi Wada and corporate executive Shinji Hashimoto appeared to clear up any of the inquiries that industrialists may have had from its own press conference and other's that followed.

Before Crisis - Final Fantasy VII
Platform: MOBILE
Publisher: Square Enix
Release: 2006 A few key points surfaced, carried first in Impress Gamewatch.

- Although Xbox Live is an independent online service, Final Fantasy XI players on the Xbox 360 will be able to play with other users on the PC or PlayStation 2. In other words, all three versions of the title will run on the same servers.

- When asked by the press if Square Enix will release any other games on the Xbox 360, president Wada was less than decisive, saying, "We announced only one game this time, but we hope to establish a comprehensive relationship while examining the Xbox 360's capabilities." Wada also said that Square Enix will be considering the release of Final Fantasy XI on other platforms if it has the required environment.

- When asked if there were plans to port other PlayOnline games to the Xbox 360, Wada commented that Square Enix is examining the possibilities.

- Square Enix hopes to release Before Crisis - Final Fantasy VII in America as soon as possible, but Wada commented that mobile phones in America haven't gotten to the point yet where they have good enough hardware specs to run the game. He said Square Enix hopes to release the game on multiple phone carriers and that it's physically possible for users on different phone carriers or different continents to play online together, though there are some huge issues in the way (phone-carrier policy, for one). Wada added that releasing mobile phone games in different regions also has a number of hurdles to overcome, such as differences in hardware specs, programming languages, and business models.

- Final Fantasy XII isn't playable at this E3, but Wada comments that it was simply an issue of timing. He added that Square Enix will have it playable at the end of July, at which point the company will hold a private show in Japan.

- Square Enix plans to dub Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children in English for the American release. When asked by the press if there were any plans to release Advent Children with Japanese voice and English subtitles, Wada said he would consider the possibility.

- The trailer of Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII shown during Square Enix's pre-E3 conference had an anime-like appearance to it, but it's not clear how the end product will look since it was created just for the purpose of the presentation. Wada comments that he expects the title to feature a new game system that takes advantage of the PSP's hardware.

- Square Enix plans to expand The World of Mana franchise using its "polymorphic content" strategy. As Wada explained during Square Enix's press conference, the "polymorphic content" strategy refers to

i just saw

 

Can MS buy out sony righ now and end their best compantion in consoles. I dont think they could buy nitendo since nitendo alway gain console money

 

I agree, i'll tell u how old nintendo is. what was nintendo's first system? tell me that before you say how old nintendo is.

 

Martifart: Where did you hear the $300.00 price? Last I heard, it was at $370, which was a drop from the initial $500, then $450. I would guess that if Sony was planning for a $500 release, then they will lose alot on the hardware.
