Sony royalties garnered by Nvidia from the PS3 build are expected to be the primary driver of Nvidia's gross-margin expansion in fiscal 2008.... Although poor manufacturing yields on Blu-Ray diodes were the initial cause of PS3 unit constraints at retailers, we have seen evidence of weaker-than-expected consumer demand as availability has improved, likely stemming from overly high prices at retailers and a lack of compelling game titles. |

» Yup
I could not of said better myself.
650 CDN is the price of the 60 PS3 in Canada.
This is way to much for the budget. The WII is more in my price range. I would shell out some extra $$ for a PS3 but not double.
When Sony launched the PS2, DVD players were well established. With BluRay the battle with HDDVD is still there and not many moves available.
So in conclusion...
Over prices
Not enough game titles
Not enough BluRay movies
I'm waiting for the first price drop, then I will buy one.

Now sony is dragging other companies down with its turd of a console. I feel sorry for the developers who signed contracts for exclusive games with sony for the PS3. They will be on the verge of bankruptcy soon.

For people to think the PS3 is selling slowly, they need o think again, it took the Xbox alot longer to sell the same amount of consoles.
Right now, the games aren't too great but in March theres going to be alot of games worth buying a PS3 for. Because in the end Microsoft didn't have any games worth buying for the Xbox360 until several months after launch. Only then did the console sales of the Xbox360 get going.
They can criticize the PS3 all they want, but in the end its going to be the PS3 thats sitting on top, again.

» Are you serious
Ok, first i have very little respect for vietone. But now, i have zero. The company the supplies the RSX is going to loss over $10 per share and you still smout all this fanboy BS. Note, this has nothing to do with MS, so why bring it up. If you had half a brain even a $5 per share drop would shock you. This has nothing to do with criticizing the PS3, nothing. If the RSX maker cant make money; and is report a loss. What do you think this says for Sony. And again, why use the debunked argument that SOny sold more than the 360. It has been proven by various sources that this number only reflect shipped, and with every retailer having them sitting on shelves, you do the math bright guy.

Interesting times ahead. Personally I believe the 360 is going to easily outsell the PS3 this year. More games are coming for the 360, more features, and all at a lower price. Even if sony sales start to pick up, MS can play the price cut game and take back the advantage. Sure sony might get a few good games, but nothing that the 360 can't match with it's own catalog.

» Huh?
Your kidding right. Buy into a volitile share, with no proof of any up turn, when a company has just reported a loss. Wow, your as bright as vietone. There PC side may sent the share up again, but the PS3 will not, this year anyways. There is way to much market speculation and fear surrounding Sony and anything releated to PS3.
But please invest in Sony, we need people like you to keep our economy growning.

I think the main concern is sony's 6 million March 31st target of 6 million units. Sony has shipped 2 million units to US and Japan and that has flooded the market already. With the UK launch on the 23rd March, I don't see how it's possible to sony to hit 4 million let alone 6 million. Expect a major drop in shares if that target is missed.

» screw high risk stocks
I think the SHM (sony hype machine) targets investors as well as the consumer. They're trying to keep investors from selling their shares by making unreasonable exaggerations. There's no big games coming out any time soon, and their "target" is 6 million shipped even before the European launch. I don't really expect the PS3 to really take off there either. I think many of them are tired of getting the shaft with a much later unsure release date, much higher pricing than other regions, and still very few decent titles compared to the competition.
Nividia shouldn't have pissed Microsoft off and made them go with an ATI GPU. I wonder what that was about? Nividia's paying for it now.

» Do not buy Nvidia shares
Buy shares when they're announced to begin going up, and sell when they're starting to go down. It's more guaranteed to become profitable then long term investments where you require knowledge in the product and the workings of the company.

No matter what system wins, Nvidia is still making money. People aren't going to pull stocks from Nvidia just because the ps3 is selling slower... they are still the #1 gpu company...
However I like Ati

» You guys are fools
The system is only three months old, and you guys see this news as something that will bring SONY down, you know what the real prob is, those of you that do not own a PS3 are dissing the it. No one on this site talks about the fact that the PS3 sold as many units as the wii, or that it out sold the 360 in the same time frame when the 360 was released. Companies actually notice things like this, right now most games will be multi platform, but all cars are the same, do you want to drive a go cart the rest of your life that needs modding, or do you want a BMW that's fully loaded. Sony delivered on all counts! Both systems have their advantage, but SONY delivered high def experience.

Oh dear you see this is half the problem the PS3 is having at the moment,it sounds like its the machine to buy if you are having a midlife crisis.
The 360 has a big tempting set of big big games coming out ESPECIALLY in MARCH.
