numbnut? wow...bringing it back with that one. where did they loose the 7 billion from, not from just their PS3 division? because every figure that i'v seen has said they're just over 2 billion as of 6 months ago. EVEN if they did, the way the gaming industry is structured is a hell of a lot different than dvd players. gaming machines for generations have been known to be sold for a loss, where they really make up their money is in licensing (with the exception of wii this generation "last gen" hardware). so when you look @ the ps3, it can make money back in the company in the form of video games, and blu ray disc sales. looking at the toshiba, they only had one front to recoup their money from, hd disc sales.
oh by the way, i'm guessing you're not paying attention. i said if toshiba did win, they would have with almost certainty raised their prices. i'm not arguing that sony hasn't, that much is fact. but seriously, read the post before you get your panties up in a bunch
