Sony came back creating and establishing some of the best ips and sequels ever and holding the graphics mantle in exclusive games from tht point on. It was the era of Uncharted 2, TLOU, the best looking Games ever at tht point and establishing Uncharted, it was Killzone 2 and many others. The end of the PS3 era is what brought mindshare back and helped propel PS4 along with Xbox fuck ups.
You need to understand Netflix needs to pay a lot of dividend to banks… so these profits are not accurate because they got a lot of money from banks.
cheering on the death of their console is just speeding up the possibility of Xbox becoming a 3rd party publisher.
Layoffs help cause profits, the two are related. I say that as someone who might be longterm staring down the barrel of a gun, myself.
While still capping for the hardware at the same time. Lol. These dudes write the jokes for us every time.dumb Xbox fans acting like this is some kind of W, "see guys Xbox has moved beyond hardware, this is awesome!"
They are trillion dollar company after all.
I am very aware of companies accounts payable situations (in my line of work I work with budgets) and liabilities. However I can only go by the profits stated by the Corp. My comment still stands they are making alot of profit irregardless of what they might owe and still raising sub prices.

Sony were amazing come tail end (and for me, from the start - I loved Resistance and Uncharted both) but if they hadn't designed a console that required a $600 price tag, they mightve fared better. Who knows, though. Blu-ray won the format wars because of it, and the game quality of Sony 1P was beyond their competitors in the end.
These people are getting paid to say the same scriptdumb Xbox fans acting like this is some kind of W, "see guys Xbox has moved beyond hardware, this is awesome!"
Yup and they were losing money on every sale close to $300
The amount of layoffs they did would have decreased their profit margins by a negligible amount. If we take Satya's CEO pay ratio as 250:1 the average employee, that means on average each employee makes ~$200k. 10,000 jobs would be ~half a billion dollars in that quarter. It's unconscionable to sacrifice tens of thousands of jobs for <3% increase in profit when they're already making crazy profits. And the fact that you are staring down the barrel of layoffs and still defending this kind of practice is honestly mind-boggling.
Blu-Ray wasn’t going to lose that format war by the simple fact that every major studio was on Blu and every manufacturer except Toshiba was in the format consortium.
