Merrill Predicts Sony to Lose 6 Billion + over 5 Years

 

http://ce.seekingalpha.com/article/20369

 

Steven Towns submits: Merrill Lynch (MER), perhaps the biggest Sony (SNE) hater, downward revised its financial forecast and cut its target share price today. ML also estimated a multi-billion dollar 5-year total operating loss related to the PlayStation 3.

 

FISCO news service of Japan reported on the ML analyst report. Details of the downward revised financials were not provided.

 

Target share price revision: ¥4,700 --> ¥4,000 ($40.05 --> $34.09 at ¥117.35/US$1)

 

Total PS3 operating loss expected over 5 years: ¥738.9 billion ($6.3 billion at ¥117.35/US$1)

 

The PS3 goes on sale in Japan tomorrow, but there will be extremely tight supplies. A quick sellout will likely make headlines, but doesn't mean much since there will reportedly be only 80,000 units for sale, after a recent 20% cut from 100,000 units. The PS2 sold nearly 1 million units in Japan in the three days following its launch in 2000.

 

The PS3 launches in the U.S. on the 17th with an available supply of around 400,000 units, although stores have reportedly sold-out of pre-orders.

PS3 Can't Get No Sleep

Only Sony's portable system can slip off into a slumber state.

 

Although it was never confirmed, rumors of a semi-active Sleep Mode to be included in PlayStation 3 surrounded the days leading up to launch. It made sense, of course, since the PlayStation Portable uses the same menu as PS3 and has a Sleep Mode, and also the PS3's network features require it (or at least recommend for it) to be plugged in and active all the time. Unfortunately, the final retail PS3 units do not seem to have anything more complex than the PlayStation 2's own Standby Mode.

 

Standby Mode is your basic PlayStation shutdown sequence -- like PS2, the system shuts down and the lights turn red, and it's off (it just takes a lot longer on this system than PS2 did.) There is also a switch in the back of the system, but as with PS2, you're supposed to leave it in Standby mode rather than switch it off completely -- remember too that you can also start the system up with a push of a button on the controller this time. There is not a nifty Sleep Mode like on PSP, however, which was designed for the portable but could have been very nice on a console as well. Sleep Mode on PSP allows you to flip a switch and turn the system somewhat off -- the screen is black and the disc stops spinning, but the RAM stays loaded so that the system can quickly be turned back on even after you've had it in Sleep for days, picking up exactly where you left off in your game or video playback. On PSP, this is of course a necessary feature to make the system pocket-friendly, and it also helps save batteries. It's not as necessary on PS3, but we would have liked to have seen it on the system -- it'd make those few minutes waiting for the initial load of huge, streaming games like GTA rarely a problem since you could slip the system into Sleep rather than left on in Pause mode when you finally feel the need to take that hour-long dump you've been holding off for the past three straight, sleepless days while playing.

 

We haven't been able to test yet to see if the PS3 does anything in its Standby Mode other than await being turned on (it will charge a PS3 controller if it's connected to USB, that's about all we know so far), but at the moment, Standby Mode isn't all that thrilling. There doesn't seem to be any always-on feature like the Wii's Connect 24, and SCE had already confirmed that it has no plans for the kinds of Push Content that will will do (where the system will find media and automatically download it to your machine -- a somewhat intrusive imposition on your storage space that is more than paid off for by the "Christmas Morning" feeling of switching on your system and finding something new installed to it.) The PlayStation Network is still not yet fully operational, so we haven't tested to see if there is any kind of feature built into Standby with the new online system (maybe it can download files and then shut itself down so you can shop before going to bed?), but we doubt there'll be any surprises there. We are curious to see if the PS3 is at all receptive to PSP commands for the new Remote Player feature, as it would be a bummer to have to leave your PS3 on all day long every day if you wanted to access it remotely to show a friend a video or listen to your music rips while out in the yard. It would be interesting to know if there's any possibility of adding Sleep in future versions of the PS3 system software.

 

Look for further tests of the PS3's least thrilling features as we play with the hardware more.

PS3 System 1.10 Explained

We break down what's included in the launch day system update.

Earlier on in the day, we posted a news story stating that retail units needed to be updated to System software version 1.10 to connect to the Internet. Well, we've now got details about what the software update provided to the retail unit directly from the official Japanese PlayStation 3 website, and it's not just Internet connectivity. 1.10 is actually important for connecting to the PlayStation Network itself, ostensibly providing the missing links for systems to tie into the online service on launch day. It also provides support for single type entering using the European language onscreen keyboard.

 

This corresponds to a number of increased keyboards that will be supported under the Accessory Settings tab. The Display Settings also received two new tweaks: the ability to set the system's screensaver after five minutes of non-use, and the ability to turn a cross color reduction filter on or off. Music Settings received two adjustments as well. First is the option to change the output frequency of an audio CD to either 44.1 or 48 kHz. The second one includes support for the ATRAC format when you're importing a disc to the PS3 hard drive. Videos for the PS3 have been augmented now, with the option to watch footage from a disc or from the hard drive in Full mode during playback.

 

There were some curious additions to the network options for the system itself as well. For one thing, 1.10 is supposed to allow you to save animated images and music directly to the hard drive. We tried downloading items before (which we listed in a previous article) and didn't have any luck with that. Hopefully we'll be able to get to the bottom of what can and can't be downloaded to the drive in the future. If you're browsing in Chinese, you can now use complex or simple characters to navigate the web. What's more, if you're confused about specific aspects of your system, you can launch the online instruction manuals, which brings you to a user's guide for the PS3. 1.10 also provided support for downloadable content via the PlayStation Store for PS3 software, which could be anything from future firmware updates to demos of games.

 

PSP network support is included for the PS3, though we're not sure if this is specifically tied into the Remote Play feature or if it has something to do with downloading original PS1 games from the PlayStation Store to be played on the portable unit. However, Sony Japan does mention that a PSP would need to run System 3.00 to take advantage of these features. Looks like there could be an update coming in the near future.

 

Finally, 1.10 modifies how the hard drive capacity of the PS3 is calculated, and according to one translation of the site, renews how backwards compatibility of PS1 and PS2 games are handled. We're not entirely sure what that means, but that's what we got from the site. We'll have details on any further system upgrades as they're released.
