. Sony did the same thing with the
Playstation 3-created a hysteria for the product, artificially limited
supply, then milked the frenzy for all it was worth. In the end, the
PS3 was far inferior to the Nintendo Wii. Six months later, the Wii is
still a strong seller while PS3 units collect dust. Everybody who paid
thousands of dollars for the PS3 on ebay suddenly realized that they
got ripped off big time. Sony probably lost many customers that
they'll never get back. Sony probably won't be around for much longer-
they're still focused on money losing small time consumer electronics
like the Discman. They needed a PS3 frenzy to save the company.

No, they don't. Sony is a $65 BILLION dollar a year company, and game
consoles are a small part of that. It made a net profit of over $1 billion
last year.

Sony will be around a long, long time.

That isn't a very good ROI.

That is because it is not "ROI."

ROI is "return on investment" or the payback on invested capital. ROI,
simplified, is how much you make each year on each dollar invested. Often
companies are measured in return on assets, as opposed to investment
capital.

Sony's $1.5 billion profit vs. $66 billion in sales gives you the profit
margin, which is just about 2%.

Supermarkets often have a margin below 1%. The profit is on volume. Other
business may have margins of 20% to 25%, but these are usually service
companies, not manufacturers. GE has a high margin, around 12%. Honda has a
margin of 5%.

You seldom, if ever, have anything but invective and venom to contribute, do
you? You are a sick and little person if you can never discuss things and
always have to insult as part of your act.

No, you seem to have the phoney 'Native American' role pretty much
figured out...at least when you're drunk and abusive.
