MODERATORS
They sold the original Playstation at a loss, the PSP was a bit of a flop and was advertised with a white woman physically intimidating a black woman by holding her by the face, they tried to copyright the words "Let's Play", and their laptop batteries used to explode causing the biggest recall of pcs in history.
There's plenty of examples of them fucking up.
Selling consoles for a loss at release is a common practice. They make most of their money from software sales and around the time of the mid gen refresh the consoles start selling for a profit. Also the PSP sold really well and was hardly a flop (the vita on the other hand)
Lance Armstrong won 7 tour the France, he must have been doing something right.
Oh really? They killed betamax because they want all the profit to themselves.
They shot their own foot on that one. Betamax was the superior format than VHS but they kept the tech to themselves paving the VHS to win the format war.
What part didn't you understand?
Sony kept Betamax format proprietary they won't allow anybody to use it freely. While VHS was made open source.
Have you ever heard of insanely good marketing?
so far
