As far as I remember ALL console manufacturers lose money on console hardware, but they have considerable margins on the games. This is a loss leader in business
Contains scenes of mild peril.

Not quite, Nintendo makes a profit on the hardware.

Sony and Microsoft take a hit and try to make it up with games.
2 motherfuckers have sigged me so far.  Fuck yeah!

Playstations rule, I've loved all the ones I have played (every single one up until Playstation 2).

I loved the old Playstation TV adverts, where did they go? :rolleyes:

Playstations are pretty shit quality, but I can't say much about Xbox either. I hate Sony as much as I hate Microsoft, IBM, etc, because they are all taking part in treacherous computing.

Are those the "silver" versions?

Or are they still black?

Personally, I think the black looks a LOT better. :)

Sp-s are for those who don't know how to use a pc (or do not want to bitch around with config....)
 
 
 
The only games that i play for sp are Crash(the fox/wolf thing),NFS,WWF/E
:]
The only other good thing about ps-s is the joystick.:)
You can play 2x2 wwf smack  down.
But you can not find a good enough keyboard to play 4 pople at the same time
also sp joysticks are cheeper(at least here they are) than pc
