Does Size Really Matter?

[Danalys]

now

to repeat myself

(which I REALLY hate doing)

4 MONTHS AFTER THE PRICE CUTS YOU SAID WERE ENABLED BY COST CUTTING

In other words they've only managed to cut costs because they took a massive hit on profits in order to basically give the console away in order to get it into people's homes, thus enabling them to increase production and therefore cut costs

doesn't sound very desirable to me...

and they had to sell off the entire cell division just to make the gaming division look profitable. Try again.

um they can do something called forecasting.

 

[hippy fascist]

you can dismiss it for being wrong though

 

[Mentok]

it's still spreading. altho at the time i was under the impression that linux would come preinstalled. though that's looking like it might happen still. the news about YDL 6 isn't very clear at this moment. but still i said that would be part of a process that would be going on into the next generation of consoles. so you can't really dismiss a prediction that hasn't come to it's due date.

 

[hippy fascist]

um they can do something called forecasting.

which part of my post are you responding to?

with you cherry-picking which bits you'll respond to, due to the sheer weight of evidence indicating how wrong you are, it's difficult to tell...

 

[Danalys]

that pretty much covered all of it hippy fascist. me cherry picking? that's so rich coming from you.

 

[Mentok]

I'm amazed you can dress yourself in the mornings. Really.

 

[Danalys]

that's why i'm naked

forecasting explains why they had to sell off large parts of the company...

no, I think it's incorrect forecasting which caused that.

was it 10 or 20 million ps3s sold in the first year they were predicting, I honestly can't remember?

basically you're trying to act as if this was all part of the plan from day one

WAKE UP

sony have dropped the ball this generation and have been maknig desperate move after desperate move just to stop the company collapsing in on itself.

 

[Danalys]

forecasting ment they could drop the price before they cut the costs. sheesh it's like i have to explain everything in the simplest terms for you guys.

as for selling the plant you assume that was to cover PS3 costs. there are other reasons that would make sense to sell it. i get bored of your nonsequetors so ignore them.

 

[hippy fascist]

the game division's losses were 841 million dollars

the cell division was sold for 835 million dollars

you do the math

 

[Danalys]

still no definite connection between the two. sometimes a good business opertunity is just a good business opertunity. as long as they can still get cell chips for a reasonable price and it will still be developed and they can get the new cell at a reasonable price when it comes to PS4 then it's all good.

 

[hippy fascist]

I give up

As previously stated, education seems to be a foreign concept to you

Ahhhh, ok. I get it now. You have no idea what you're talking about. You're just talking.

Well, that clears things up then.

 

[Danalys]

ad hominem

 

[hippy fascist]

when you consistently ignore every piece of evidence put in front of you the only thing left to argue is the character of the man. Or to go with a more literal translation "to argue to the man"

pig latin, was that an attempt to dispel the idea that you're of lower than average intelligence...?

'cause it failed

 

[Danalys]

it's commen to use the latin to site a logical fallacy. and pig latin is just inversions with prefixes and suffixes. ad hominem isn't pig latin.

 

[hippy fascist]

there was no logical fallacy

and again you're wrong. It's actually used when a person can't argue against a person's case so they try to disparage their personality. In other words, if you can't win on evidence, disparage the character of your opponent in order to destroy their credibility.

And yes, I freely admit pig latin was the wrong phrase

But since the crux of your argument was wrong i consider my misuse of a single term a minor point. If you want to get into the minutia of the argument I could spend all day laughing at your command, or lack thereof, of spelling and grammar.

 

[Danalys]

i'm happy to leave it up to others to read for themselves and see if you've commited that logical fallacy or not.

 

[hippy fascist]

most people here don't read your posts because they fear the IQ drop that would innevitably occur after reading such utter garbage

sorry to be the bearer of bad news

 

[Danalys]

ah those people who drag them up after over a year in a jevenile attempt to stir up trouble in lieu of their fallen comrades

 

[hippy fascist]

actually I was just reading through some old threads and was genuinely amazed at the overall stupidity quote I initially highlighted. Even the lizard's not that much of a ps3 fanboy...

 

[Danalys]

the lizard is just intrested in the games he's intrested in. how the industry will grow and change isn't much concern to him. anyway the way i see it sony doing better is good for the industry because MS have got the money to compete and that can only mean better deals for the consumer. next time they can come out with a quieter system without a bulky power supply and they might be able to compete in japan. and sony should have learnt that their initial price point wasn't that great an idea. need to go with more mature tech from the get go. leveraging the experience with cell that generation instead.
