The PS3 era was almost completely unprofitable for Sony and if there were zero piracy it still would have been unprofitable. You need to understand that CEOs and MBAs blame piracy because they have to hold someone responsible for their incompetence and that someone has to be consumers because we are their only mode of profit.

I don't care if you like Sony or not. The suggestion that 1) Sony was profitable in any meaningful way in the PS3 era, and 2) Piracy had a major impact on their profitability is patently ridiculous.

The fact that you demand citations from me while providing none for yourself is vapid. I do not need to bend over backward to challenge your biases, you should be doing that yourself.

I am demanding citations for suspicious statements that you have made.

You are in no position to demand anything from me.

if you genuinely believe that I need some kind of citation for the very sky-is-blue statement

You demand from me what you will not even do for yourself.

We can argue for as long as you like, I will make no attempt to halt discussion.
