98%??
Sales are only slightly down on expectations which means they have spent a ton of money on restructuring, hence the lower profits.
As for their comment that the Ps2 is selling poorly... compared to what? It continues to outsell every other console and the PS1 at the same point in it's life cycle.
The BBC, like every other generalist news appear to know nothing about gaing - just see my other post for more proof. If you need it!
"Nonetheless, they were below sector-watchers expectations of a 89% fall in profits, according to Reuters."
Now I'm confused...
Sony only sold 1 PS2 every 3 seconds during April-June.
They announced a 1 trillion Yen restructuring back in April which means this drop in profits was expected. Methinks BBC were just short of news.
Judging by the hardware sales figures i've seen, no it's not. We can all live in hope though.
2)is this a good or a bad thing?
3)OUCH!
