Dreamcast Returns on PSN and XBLA this year
Jun 10th 2010 11:57AM (Joystiq)Xbox division posts $165 million profit in fiscal Q3 on strength of Xbox Live business
Apr 23rd 2010 3:48PM (Joystiq)I didn't say Sony was this generation's Sega, I said the PS3 was this generation's Dreamcast. The Dreamcast was ahead of its time in technology and ended up costing Sega a lot of money which at this point in time, is comparable to what the PS3 is doing to Sony. That was the only comparison I was trying to make. To add on that, I said that Sony should have charged for PSN from the start so that they could have absorbed some of the cost of the hardware.

Apr 23rd 2010 2:16PM (Joystiq)It's comparable to the Dreamcast from a profit perspective. Sega had a very powerful machine but it didn't make them any money and cost them their hardware business. The PS3 will eventually start to make Sony money but how many billions of dollars will they have lost until that point? It's going to be hard for them to recoup their losses. Sony has the advantage over Sega's situation because it has the financial success of the PS2 and Sony as a whole is a powerhouse for electronics to get them through it.
The bottom line is that the PS3 is an expensive machine to make and charging for PSN would have helped them tremendously financially. Xbox Live has more than 20 million members paying around $50 a year...you do the math and tell me that Sony wouldn't like a piece of that cash cow.
