Title: Sony loses $1.1 BILLION last year....with a B...suck it varg
Post by: Reddawn on January 13, 2009, 05:13:55 PM
"There are plenty of directions to point fingers: trying to be a premium brand in a weak world economy, a strong Yen (harder to export) or difficulties in making the PlayStation 3 profitable, but whatever the cause, it looks like Sony lost $1.1 billion last year, the company's first practical loss in 14 years. Of course, the report isn't official just yet, earnings aren't due until the 29th, and Sony has put out a statement to that effect, with no further comment -- but let's just say this is a pretty widely bandied number at this point. This seems to line up with rumors of additional cost cutting, with 16,000 jobs already cut at Sony thanks to the hard times. But don't worry, the VAIO P with Windows 7 will save us all."

Well played Varg.  In fact, I got so worked up I did a google search on great PS3 games so I could do some photoshop retaliation and make fun of the PS3.  I think google might be broken at the moment though, I didn't get any search results.  Oh well, I'll try again latter.

:P

P.S. yay xbox kthxbai

Well, you know why they call it the xbox 360, right? Cos when you see it, you turn 360 degrees and walk away

wait...wouldn't turning 360 degrees point you directly back at the xbox?  Wouldn't you have to do a 180 or a 540 or a 900 or a 1260 to walk directly away?

Don't try to impose reason and logic on those fervently defending Sony products.  They'll gang up with the Apple fanbois and come at us like spider monkeys...holding hands and skipping!
