Sony still losing on every PlayStation 3 it sells

[Limewater]

what happen someone set us up the bomb

ok? where is the proper grammar in that first statement?? then you went on to stroke you own ego??? oh yeah there is that part about how this forum requires you to be over 13??

That was a joke related to poor English translations in early video games. You can read here so that you will get the reference in the future:

Is English your first language? None of that post makes any sense. At all.

this is your statement right after my first post . correct??? so where in my first post did i attack you???

For what it's worth, Niode is a bit of an asshole sometimes. A lot of us are. However, I really don't think he was trying to insult you with his first post. Your post really was unreadable, and it seriously looked like something that would have been typed by someone who was not fluent in English. I just read your post for the first time, and I had the same reaction.

I don't have to justify myself to you. As for the 12 year old thing, I have no idea what you are talking about.

you are right dont bother trying to justify anything because i dont want to hear your lies as for the second part i think i went over that already see above incase you forgot again!

I think that if you go back you will see that he did not imply that you were twelve. Rather, he said that, if you were following the terms and conditions of forum then you must be at least thirteen. If, as you say, you have a wife and kid and a job, then you are indeed over thirteen.

look i said i would ignore you niode but noooo you just had to post about me again. do your job if thats what you call it but please do not respond to my posts.

i will let it be if you do the same then we will not have a problem. again i will let it be if you do the same. i will take any reply by you as a attack from now on.

i will not comment on your posts unless i actually agree with you.

dont be a ass forever compromise for one time in your life you arent going to always be right.

sorry my posting skills are not going to get any better so if you dont like them please do yourself a favor and dont read them. (this is not directed at anyone but is for everyone).

you guys are making it sound like sony will go bankrupt. it will not. as a whole they make too much stuff. it's not like generals motors where they cut off pontiac because it didnt perform. i read like 23 articles today 20 of them used isuppli as their basis for how much sony loses per unit the wsj used financial reports to come to their conclusion.i only read onewhere sony actually stated they lose money per unit and even though they stated that they did not go into how much they lose per unit.
also i would like to state that all the sites using isuppli as the facts were not consistent. the loss values were all over the place from anywhere between $0.03 to $423.00.

No.

We.

Are.

Not.

We are saying that every time they sell a PS3 it cost them more to make than what they got from the consumer. We have brought up time and time again the other ways that Sony makes up the loss. For some reason you seem to miss that part of the post every time.

I DID NOT MISS THAT PART OF THE POST MRPOPO.
I understand it cost them more. stop trying to make me look dumb. And i have stated they make it up in other areas. Therefore it doesnt lose a penny it actually makes a profit. didnt i already say that before (hidden profits)?

If you said that, then you've changed your position since your first several posts. Here is what you wrote earlier:

thats bullshit just like sony loses 18 dollars on every system.
the razor theory doesnt even hole weight thats like saying a dvd player sells at a loss because we can charge companies a fee to use dvd's in our dvd players.

<snip>

sometimes you have to see through the bs. no one sells anything for a loss would you sell your "ps3's" at a 18 dollar loss??

I don't see where anyone implied that Sony was about to go out of business.

[racketboy]

Alright, I think we've covered the actual topic enough.
This business practice is actually quite common in the console industry. There's plenty written on the topic. If you don't understand it, sorry.

And we don't need the insults -- from mods or others.
Let's play nice here, folks.

Thread closed.

This is faulty reasoning. They lose money on each PS3 unit. This is a fact. They make up that loss by taking a profit in a bunch of other areas. This is also a fact. But if we isolated the PS3 manufacturing portion into a separate company, call it Sonyette, then if you looked at the books you would see that Sonyette is hemorrhaging money.
