Howard Stringer: “PS3 is a creative success”
You win some, you lose some. But in the case of Sony, they’re picturing it might be the other way around. Because last week, they revealed their second quarter financial reports and clocked in a 94% profit loss. Ouch. Fine, they lose some (actually, not just some, but a whole lot), but will they win it back?
Sony CEO Howard Stringer is optimistic of the crisis. He’s saying that the company should be looking for new ways to “offset the performance of the PS3.” While the current electronics and movie division of Sony are showing healthy signs of pulling in some profit, Stringer concedes that the PS3 will only up its ante on the second year as the software sales increase.
About Europe’s delay, however, he has this to say:
I think the idea of worrying about a delay in PlayStation is slightly strange to me. Every complex technology runs the risk of delays. The point really is that PlayStation 3 is already finished and has been tested in America and has been deemed a creative success. In the end that is what counts.
Personally, I agree on the whole “complex technology getting delayed” bit. And more than that, I believe that they will make ends meet in the future by exploring more avenues. This could even be connected to that “more games, more value” gig. While there won’t be a PSP price cut, they’re still looking around for more ways to add value.
Fine, they might be in a slump now, but who knows? You lose some, you win some, right? If you got some thoughts on this, I spy with my little eye a little link that says “Comment”. Yep, you know what to do…
