Can the PS3 Save Sony? (Ineresting article) - VGF

**Dr. Horrible** · 08-29-2006, 05:18 PM

The company that created the transistor radio and the Walkman is at the precipice. If Sony's new $600 console doesn't blow gamers away, it may be time to say sayonara.

Given that even if they do somehow manage to sell every PS3, Sony STILL loses money.

They'll end up burying all the PS3's in Nevada.

Pretty interesting article I must say. The projected loss from Sony is insane... I don't even know what to say anymore about them.

I said something similar, months ago. Now I think that The next gen doesn't start until another console comes out.

that's a pretty biased article...but seriously the Ps3 wouldn't be bringing anything "new" to the market. They of course had changed their controllers around immediately after hearing about how the Wii controllers worked...but now when you look at it, their big like boomerangs. On the brighter side to their share prices going down, i think their product prices would probably go down too in an attempt to make "some" money.
