Sony: PS4 losses will be nothing like those of the PS3

4.7
Sony will not generate as large of a loss with PlayStation 4 as it did when it launched PlayStation 3, according to SCE CEO Andrew House.

Speaking in an investors meeting last week, and reported by Bloomberg, House told investors the pricing of PS4 will not cause as large of a loss as PS3 did at launch – the latter of which caused a $3 billion loss.

“We will not generate anything like the losses we did for the PlayStation 3,” House said, as investment in the system is “much, much smaller,” this time out, what with its PC-like architecture.

Still, Sony expects to report a loss in its game division next financial period due to currency exchange rate shifts.

Such looses will be offset in part by sales of PS4, but the firm no longer expects to break-even for the year, but expects earnings to “deteriorate significantly.”

I sorta agree, Sony has a thing for getting hacked


I also agree, Sony does a thing for getting hacked. Hopefully it doesn't though..


If that ever happened it would be disastrous because of how much hype it has gotten

Dr-J Ps3 did terrible. Ps4 will do better but will not out sell the Xbox one


It definitely will, Xbox is more popular then Playstation is overall, I'm not a fanboy or anything, Well i am with Pc but coming from a person that has both a Xbox and PS3, From the user experience, Prefer Xbox.


So are you agreeing or disagreeing?


I know lol. But since ms is a much larger company and xbox is much greater. I would have to say xbox


I'm still not following you.


Considering how big the xbox community is. And how big Microsoft is. They are going to get much higher sales.


Where do you get this "info" from? I use info lightly since your wrong. If it's so much bigger explain how to me that the PS3 has more units sold than the 360? And before you call me a fanboy I own only a 360 and am getting the One. But posting stuff like that just makes you look stupid for praising something with false info. One of the consoles will sell more but neither will have "much higher" sales then the other. It will be close. As it has been for the past console generations.

from world news. and the head director of microsoft and like 1000 gaming magazines
that said it,and the over 100 million users of xbox live or are they all liers cause you said so
