Just read this interesting article, however, I realized soon after that no Gaming company makes money from selling consoles (Example - Microsoft lost money every XBOX they sold). Sony will make money from selling PS3 games.

Who buys a console and then doesn't buy a game?

They only way i can see Sony going under is if the quality of the games are so bad, people simply sell their PS3. Which lets face it is pretty unlikely.

"A JAPANESE tech site has pointed out that Sony might have a few problems in selling the concept behind its new PS3 controller.

According to Broadband Watch, Sony is expecting to get 30 hours of life from a single charge, but the battery cannot be replaced. This means that when the battery finally dies, or in the case of a Sony battery explodes, you will have to buy a new controller.

These are not that cheap and it seems strange that Sony have moved for a disposable tag on what is a key part of the console arrangement. Already the PS3 is being blasted for being far more expensive than its rivals."

Tbh, i'd find it hard to belive that Sony would make a mess up that big. They've made some blunders already with the PS3, but having to buy a new controller after 20hours usage, that'd be the nail in the coffin im afraid.
Tbh, its probably been misinterpritted. It probably means that the battery isnt removable, so that after 20 hours, you'll need to use a different controller while the first recharges.

I think it could mean that obviously batteries can only be re-charged so many times, i.e. you charge it for 2 hours but only get 10 minutes usage. Then its time to buy a new controller.
