At least they are not blaming someone else.

Captain obvious to the rescue.
this is dumb, the more PS3's they sell, the more money they lose right now lol
When better games come later this year and a price cut, i think PS3 will improve.
may this trend continue till Sony's death
it kind of makes me sad. on one hand i am glad to see the PS3 tanking because i dont like it as a product. On the other the playstation has always been something i loved and i makes me sad to see the death of what was once so good.
Glad to see the death.
GT5 on Xbox 360 :)
not much of a shock really
Sony Vs. Nintendo...
sony has mostly been an ass compared to N.
on the other hand atleast they don't censor so much...
Eh...wait for 2009....Billy Gates will be pressuring bungie to come out with a Halo 4 cos the PS3 will be $299.
Perkam
This was probably obvious to all of us already :p:
i give sony 3 more years before they are purchased... all of their products pretty much suck. Overpriced, under par features and build quality is going down the tubes.
The PS3 was a flop when they decided to shove blueray down everyones throat. HDCP issues and blaming it on the TV manf''rs instead of owning up to the problem on their end. If they would stick with the standard for it, it would work. People like Westinghouse and Sharp have gone out of their way to help sony resolve the issue, but claim the tv guys arent following the standard. lol
Sony isn't going anywhere.

i guess the alpha dslr totally blows and their SXRD tvs & XBR lcds suck amirite?
i guess that's why the critics love them?
i guess that's why the alpha won camera of the year?
Ok honestly, the sony cameras are really, really bad. And I am not even in expert in the field :(

I love how they say that the PS3 was going to be the most godly thing ever. Then they admit it was the worst thing ever.
great ,
i not only dislike sony for their overpriced goods . Their products may look nice from the outside but when you look further at the used technology it's not worth the price .
Their product support is one of the worst . keep your creditcard ready when you call them !
and they are way too full of themselves .
i just never ever buy sony products anymore since i called their support line a few times :clap:
keep going Sony .
Sony fanboi alert.Quote:

Cybershots? Lol is this a joke?
TVs? Maybe you should pay a visit to AVSFORUM - OVERPRICED
I am so glad I went with the new SAMSUNG LEM86 (TULIP) 52" screen for 3600 Euros, instead of the 52" inch Sony for 5000 Euros while beeing a worse product in many ways. Why do they want me to pay 1400 more for a product that is worse?
Well it is time for all to know how cheatful SONY is and realise that their mistakes are not for us to pay.
NOTE: I never owned a SONY product.
Well now the only thing missing is Sony to blame Nintendo for its mistakes. Kind funny if you look an year ago.
No joke. My dad has one and it's crap. He was also talked in to buying a Sony Wega 50" LCD TV, god it needs to die in a fire. I show it to all my friends and they can't believe how bad it is. The picture is pixelated all to hell. Then I show them my 40" Panasonic LCD TV, which is 3 years older, and it looks years better than the Sony. And both TVs are on HD cable.Quote:

Sony KDL-40XBR2 40-inch LCD HDTV
0702_edchoice_videoThe year 2006 marked a turning point — and I'm not referring to the recent congressional elections. I'm talking about the video performance of LCD TVs finally starting to catch up with other display technologies. As the first-ever LCD model to receive an S&V Editors' Choice award, Sony's KDL-40XBR2 ($3,500) racked up that honor by putting out a picture discerning viewers can hang their hats on. The biggest advancement here is in the set's handling of dark images: Even the gloomiest movies show rock-solid blacks and a high level of shadow detail. And the plentiful picture adjustments, including a variable backlight and flexible color-temperature and gamma settings, all pitch in toward achieving great performance. When you add features like 1080p resolution, automatic contrast enhancement for daylight viewing, and a side-panel HDMI input for plugging in a PlayStation 3, Sony's 40-inch LCD, while far from being the most affordable model in its size range, is definitely the most desirable.

you guys are right
cnet, popular photography, sound & vision don't know what they are talking about
it is the armchair fanboi who truly knows the products.
yup, im sure i every avs reader boycotts/never buys a sony product. I'm sure you can't find anyone on the avsforums willing to pick up a pearl or a ruby.
NOR, do i say sony is perfect
obviously they're not even :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing close
HOWEVER
you losers need to get off your "i hate sony" bandwagon/highhorse
give credit where credit is due
I will give credit where it is due. I will also say that on the product which required complete innovation (LCD TVs and Cameras have a nice track record) they failed pretty completely. Mostly because of bad press, weird product decisions (I hate the fact that Blu-Ray is alive) and slow time to market.
Ok bobdole, we need to clear somethings here. When people here say their camera's suck, we refer to the mainstream segment, ala sub $300 cameras. This is an $800 camera in which the main design came from a Minolta model after sony bought the company. They added some additional bells and whistles, but thats about it. Minolta was a pioneer in cameras, no doubt about that.
And that TV, one site gave it 8.2 out of 10. I really do not want a $3000 item that I buy be rated 8.2/10. Not also that, but other sites give it as low as 7.
I am trying to be realistic here nothing personal :)
Raise hand all who didn't see this coming...
Nobody?? Good...
I wonder: How could sony work on that console for 7! years and not realise something would be wrong in the end... The X360 had real-life showings and screenshots at the time when Sony was still selling pre-rendered stuff off as the real deal... Why didn't they just say "fine, let's back it up for a second, and have a GOOD look at the :banana::banana::banana::banana: we've been pulling"?
And Bobdole:
Capt. Insano was proven a scammer ½ year ago... Change your sig man ;)
Best Regards :toast:
I'll be looking for you guys in a year or so when the PS3 is doing well and everyone is praising it again. Sony will never die.
I'll admit they are doing bad right now, but not nearly as bad as people are trying to make it out to be. Yes a large quarterly loss is bad, but most of the time that never causes a company to go out of business. I think it is like George Bush in that respect. Yes he is doing a bad job, but alot of good things have come out of his administration no one knows about because people are dumb and they form their opinions of him based on what everyone else says. So yeah Sony is doing bad, but it is not the end of them or the PS3, get used to it.
I can't believe that they are only sucking as bad as they did 4 years ago. That is almost promising news for the company.
Die sony, die.
Then you look at the Canon Digital Rebels and they're all rated 9.0 out of 10 :DQuote:

Yup, Sony TVs really are plain shlt:
http://www.tech.co.uk/home-entertain...definition-tvs
They only managed to get 3 TVs out of the Top 10... :rofl: ROFLMAO :rofl: , just 3!? Give me a break ....
ONLY 3 of them here on the top of the chart too, out of ALL the TVs on the site:
http://reviews.cnet.com/4566-6475_7-...edRating7+desc
Gawd damn Sony, you need to make something better ... pieces of shlt
At least they managed to get 4 here:

But that still doesn't mean SH*T!!!!!11111 :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
HOW ARE THEY STILL IN BUSINESS!?
I hope one day Sony is able to make something worth a shlt!!

MMOs and normal games is something catastrophic in these terms.
Bluray vs HD-DVD. Its like 2 4year old fighting and cant get along in kindergarden. And we waste time and money on both, getting delays in terms of implementation and people that are affraid to buy the potential loser.
And the list could basicly continue forever.
I think the problem is, that in the technology sector we forget to look on what we actually need and how it should be done. Too much fast and dirty methods to ruin it. Like lots of GFX, no gameplay in new games. Exotic semi useless consoles with tech you never gonna use. Features and such cut from MMOs, OS, applications, products to reach a set timeline. And companies putting up bigger breads than they can bake :ROTF:
Why would you think I am being sarcastic? Everyone knows Sony is pure SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111one1111111 Just because every review shows they have 3-4 TV's in the top 10 doesn't mean jack ROFLMAOBBQWTF!!!!!!!!111111111one111111.
