Well I think so... They weren't planning this much poeple to buy in the next 3 shipments. They had to actually cancel the ps3's to Europe because the price is too much.

It is expensive, I heard somewhere Sony are actually losing abit of money on the manufacturing costs of each unit... Hence why the games are so expensive.

I wouldn't bother rushing in and buying one yet, the CPU will just melt to the motherboard.

I know seriously, The games are like $60-$70.

Enesce they are gonna loose one billion. You can buy 2 Wiis for the price of one ps3... also the games are cheaper.

To build one, of course it's expensive. A PC with those specs is around 2000$.

bluray? hd-dvd? betamax? puh-lease.

XBOX lost money for the first few years on the selling of their consoles too. It's the games and license deals they get moola from .....or some crap like that.

The PS3S are selling out everywhere. If I could gather $600 from mugging people then I would buy one but, unfortunately I don't have any old baseball bats lying around

. Oops. I forgot to metion that it plays blu-ray discs and usually the players for those go for around $1000 so it's not that bad of a deal.

Every console sells with no or negative profits, they make their money on the games, still the ps3 is way overpriced.

They have a big display of blueray at work, really its all in the tv. I keep saying this and people keep realizing the truth, to get the quality/graphics the blueray and ps3 are ranting about you need to buy a tv thats over $1000USD Why do you think they always have a really nice flatscreen with demos?

ds dude · « **Reply #13 on:** November 18, 2006, 01:27:11 pm »

2 people got killed while waiting in-line for the ps3. Some guy was forcing the 2 poeple to give him money to buy one. How lame is that?

While this is true for most consoles, it's not "every" one. The 3D0 sold for a profit. I believe the Halcyon and some other older systems were as well. Plus as technology ages, some systems become profitable on sale such as Nintendo's GameBoy line.

at the beginning they sell for low prices, because they have to get their consoles into homes so they need to get games. those two consoles failed miserably didnt they, didnt they.

So I was at Sportsmart today which is next door to Best Buy. I was waiting for my dad and sister so I walked over there to play some games in a meantime and they had ps3. I played this game called motoracer or something to that effect and the graphics were shite.
