PS3 Fanboy

... so how far do they have left to dig until they've hit china?

I dont know about this... can they really make the money back this way? I mean the PS3 doesnt have many kiddie games in the first place and buying a ps3 for this is kinda outrageous... i guess their strategists/analysts know much better than us.

Sony should either be spending money on R&D to lower the cost of production for a PS3 or buy more game devolopers. This is just a waste of money.

A bit more than 500KM, or roughly 350 miles. Plus you'd have to figure actually going under the water, but if you could dig through the air, the above estimates are about pretty close.

You did go to school, right? You understand that China is just a jump across the water from Japan? Have the schools actually sunk to that level?

they should buy Sucker Punch instead :)

I dont know how this will pan out but sony ideas in the past have all helped them.(home) But i would like them to spend money on locking exclusives like: MGS, and others. Or try and get some microsoft exclusives like bioshock and gears of war2. I dunno.

Excellent idea...

It makes $35 million profit per year now and with Sony's marketing reach (Club Penguin Movie, Club Penguin Saturday Cartoon, Club Penguin stand alone games for PS3 and PSP etc) and expansion of this to EU and JP they could easily recoup $500 million and grow this into a premiere holding.

Will it sell ALOT of PS3s...not as a stand alone product (it is on PC) but the could leverage it into something MUCH bigger.

Coming From An Actual Club Penguin Beta Tester (don't ask):

This Is Really Interesting..

And You Know, HOME Is Basically An Teen-Adult Version Of Club Penguin And Other Interactive Online Communities Like Habbo Hotel, Coke Music, And Virtual Magic Kingdom, Which Are Mainly Aimed At The Kid-Teen Crowd..

HOME Is So Much Like These Online Chat/Game Communities Considering That They Have Load Times Between Each Room, Each User Owns A Room Where They Can Decorate With Furnishings, Chat With Others, Dress Themselves Up, Play Little Games Within, And Contains Areas That Are Sponsored By Other Companies..
(more so than 'second life' which people quickly relate home with, which is a user-made enviroment..)

This Kinda Interest Me, Since The Little Nephews Had Club Penguin Playing On Their Wii (via opera browser)..

Hope Sony Gets In A Deal, though, i'd imagine they would join up with the guys at sulake instead of rocketsnail..

500 million?? I don't know, how much does Enix worth? Let's hostile takeover that company. ;)

sony also makes computers I think since club penguin is for CPU's then sony will make prophet that way.

instead of spending money on stuff like this, how about paying for a the exclusivity of MGS4 and FFXIII?

I don't think this will have the impact your thinking only because I have 2 children that use Club Penguin, and they play with it 10X more than they do the Wii. And the thought that the parents are going to fork over $600 dollars for them to play this on a console is crazy. Everyone already has a computer hardly anyone has a PS3.
