- Neowin needs a dead horse smiley like some other boards.
Just how many people were affected by this so-called "fiasco"?
Were *you* affected?
So the independent actions of BMG records make Sony electronics or Sony Computer Entertainment responsible?
Did you boycott the Spider-Man films? Sony Pictures produced those, and they apparently made no money because people were upset about the rootkit thing...

- With a big chunk of that revenue being from SecureROM, straight out of EA's pocket.

- I still don't know anyone with a PS3.
LOTS of Wiis and Xbox 360s, and PS2s, though... -

- PS3 is aimed at the adult gamer.
I know plenty of PS3 owners...
...And they have kids with the systems you mention. -

LMAO! The stupidity of this argument never gets old.
I have adult friends, and we have Wiis! In my experience, the friends of mine that do have PS3s, dont have PS3s, but rather own Blu ray players!

I am a brainwashed "gamer" who knows nothing about video games, but jumped on the "cool" bandwagon so I could game in HD, so I bought a PS3, but then realised its only being used for HD movies, then I got frustrated, came online and posted crap about other consoles, to justify my buyers guilt, at having paid through my nose for a console, that surprisingly, didnt make me cool...

Really? That would explain a lot.
As someone who's been gaming since the pre-Atari VCS days (the Atari "Breakout" multigame) I've lived through hula-hoops, roller-rinks, Cabbage Patch Dolls, Tickle Me Elmo so I know a *fad* when I see one.
So you may want to age a bit to get some perspective and then we can talk. -

That's quite an awesome sense you got there!
Don't make me laugh.

2-Blu-Ray.
3-????
Profit!!!
In total, across the group, the company took JPY 8.87 trillion (USD 84.4 billion), a rise of 6.9 per cent on the previous year, with net income hitting JPY 369.4 billion (USD 3.51 billion) - almost tripling the previous year's total of JPY 126.3 (USD 1.20 billion).
Sales of buildings, as well as funds received from the flotation of its financial business last year, contributed to the strong showing, although its consumer products also performed well.
