Profits were “flat” in Sony’s PlayStation division. No surprise, really. What I’d love to hear (but never will, for obvious reasons), are the private conversations execs are having when they view these numbers. I mean, the PS2 is selling at a 2.1 million per quarter clip, and the PS3 is at 4.2 million. Which is more, obviously, but that’s still a large chunk of new PS2 owners out there each quarter.

You think those execs, in secret, are saying to themselves, “maybe, uh, maybe we should have stuck it out with the PS2 a while longer. I mean, look at the Wii–” At which point they’re summarily shot, of course.

But maybe they aren’t saying that, at loud at least. I can admit that. But I know someone who probably IS saying this: The shareholders.
