Testament to how badly Sony pwned the competition last gen.
Regardless, what still gets me is how Sony can still be taking a loss on every PS3 sold even with the massive price!? That's just poor design right there.
every console is sold with loss... but when you buy a console game, 10 euro's go to the console maker (in this case, to sony), thats why console games are more expensive then pc games
I always wonder why people actually buy Console's.... They are hopelessly outclassed by pc's, and you can't play FS2 on it.
Because the games are equally as much fun (more so in certain cases; I've never seen anything to match Zelda on PC, for example), it's more accessible (sit on sofa, switch on, play), more sociable (perfect example - Mario Kart or Wii Sports), there's no costly upgrading path every 12 months, and the controllers are better for many, many things (especially footie games; and also with the benefit of having games designed to fit them). It's horses for courses, basically; certain genres work better on consoles than they can on PCs, and you'd have to be some strange & hopelessly blinkered idiot to honestly believe there was some clear cut platform superiority.
Incidentally, the Wii is being sold at profit. So was the Gamecube, before it.
