u guys tend to forget that sony is one of the largest companys in the world. Hell what percent of electronics do they make? Like i said before sony is money hungry. Look at the ps2.. its selling for 150 the same price as the xbox and we all know the xbox hardware is more expensive. dont act like sony dosnt have enough money.... they are fing rich bastards. sony is the MS of the japan... hell they are the MS of electronics all together. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, you're misunderstanding me. I don't tend to forget anything. It's not about them being money hungry, EVERY CORPORATION IS MONEY HUNGRY! And yes, both companies are extremely rich. What I am saying is that Microsoft can afford to take a hit on its hardware since it makes most of its profit in other places. However, a lot of Sony's profits come from the Playstation division. Sony isn't doing as well as people like to think. Why else do you think they made a non-Japanese guy CEO? Because he might be able to inject a little western capitalism into Sony's operations.
