Uhh, I think you were confused by my wording. I meant to say Sony didn’t see profits from PS3 sales until they dropped the price to a level the consumer mass market was comfortable with. I didn’t meant to imply that dropping the price made each PS3 unit profitable to Sony.

In a situation where manufacturing costs went down, but Sony kept selling at the original launch prices, do you honestly think Sony would be turning a profit even then? Sure, they might make a profit per unit sold, but with low adoption rates due to the price, Sony would be on the losing side of the console war.

All the factors are related. Manufacturing costs going down allowed Sony to sell cheaper PS3s, even if it is still at a loss. Cheaper PS3s meant more people would buy them. More people buying PS3s translate into more PS3 games sold overall. More PS3s sold also tended to encourage further sales as friends will influence friends to buy.

yea the best thing about it is simply that we don’t know yet, just makes it more exciting

i think we might just get a very basic rundown and maybe a glimpse of ps4 to whet our appetite, and only at the very end

i think Vita was done in a similar announcement, and i think they threw the spec sheet at us

The ideal would be to cover a wide stretch of genre’s both in launch and launch months to set the tone for buyers. However, when you said RPG are we referring to a WRPG or A JRPG or either is fine?

Um no. That’s not how it went at all…

Profits didn’t get to a good point, until manufacturing costs went down. Dropping the price didn’t do anything to help them get profit for awhile, all it did was push the hardware.

Price drops, despite them continuing to lose money, was just something they were aware was necessary to do to keep selling at a pace that would keep them going through this generation.

Indeed! A Final Fantasy (Agni, or maybe Versus) would be fantastic, and Persona 5 would be great as well :)
Ugh, the wait is killing me!

I meant the video its self, I’m excited over the ps4 :-) seems like a waste of money for them to make a commercial? just to say “February 20th..”

The games that will make me buy a PS4 day one is either one of: a new Final Fantasy PS4 game, a new MGS game, a new Xenosaga game, Dark Cloud 3, or even a Valkyrie Profile 3 ;D

Same goes with posters/users here, who cares about the stupid voting system that anyone can abuse, change ip/mac and start going on a devote rampage as it happened before.

You know someone by their username and what they post and eventually you have an idea who that person is or how he/she/it can respot to certain things and not how many votes they get.

Either way, back to the topic… I really hope it is the Playstation 4 ^^ but i don’t like the “other” rumor that pops out once in a while stating that the PS4 won’t be much powerfull than the PS3.

Inb4 someone calls me a graphic whore no stop, i just want the tradition to carry on, from PS1 the next PS system was almost 10x more powerfull than the previous one and i want that to continue as we actually do need more power, looking at how more and more frames drop in games.

TL;DR: Yeah im excited for the PS4 but i’m even more excited for the games :D

I actually gave you an up vote. I don’t know for sure who is giving you down votes. I can’t tell, nor can I remove down votes. I can only place one vote per comment, just like everyone else.

I’m not demanding or telling you to do anything. I’m only suggesting that you don’t get so worked up about down votes. I get down voted too, it happens to all of us.

I’m not trying to ‘kill your freedom’ or anything like that. I read basically all the comments, I see lots of down votes. I’ve expressed my disgust with the down vote system in the past, but I can’t change what Disqus does.

All I’m saying is, just because someone responds to you, that doesn’t mean they down voted you. If it really bothers you, then just ask them about it kindly. Please.

Wild Arms 6… If they need a good one…

Somehow i got the feeling that FFVSXIII is PS4 LAUNCH TITLE .

Persona 5

Its 3 on one and one of you is a Mod. What ever still got my 9 lives not even a scratch.

Don’t believe we have ever had a conversation … who are you? and why are you stalking me? I am a friendly user and I have every right to reply just like anyone here… you just reply to me right? I also have that right too… unless gematsu has something personal against me, their average user.

I don’t have freedom of speech on this site? how do you know that troll is not lying anyways? Why put him over me and kill my freedom over his? Mr Mod. I hope your answer is a good one because I have linked many people to this website and supported it… so .. do I have my freedom of speech or not? why did you jump in like that?

I’m curious: you had a very bad experience with the X360?

Nice!
I havent counted my consoles in a while but between console and handhelds I own over 30 and about 700 games between them.
Been collecting for a long time!
