[1072.00 --> 1078.00] but the Xperia Z2 is a really solid phone and it doesn't get the amount of attention that
[1078.00 --> 1079.00] I really think it deserves.
[1079.00 --> 1086.00] I mean, they were one of the first ones to glom onto that idea that, oh, wow, we should
[1086.00 --> 1088.00] make the battery bigger.
[1088.00 --> 1092.00] I mean, it's got a 3200 milliamp hour battery, which is significantly more than most of its
[1092.00 --> 1093.00] competition.
[1093.00 --> 1095.00] And they were the first ones to pioneer that whole waterproof thing.
[1095.00 --> 1098.00] Remember how much our brains exploded at CES?
[1098.00 --> 1099.00] That was pretty awesome.
[1099.00 --> 1100.00] Yeah.
[1100.00 --> 1101.00] When they had like the dunk tank with the phone?
[1101.00 --> 1102.00] Yeah, yeah.
[1102.00 --> 1103.00] That was actually pretty cool.
[1103.00 --> 1110.00] If they had a stock Android skin instead of their Sony skin, I probably would have bought
[1110.00 --> 1112.00] a Z3 by now because I'm up for an upgrade.
[1112.00 --> 1117.00] So, okay, I would have upgraded through my phone plan to a Z3.
[1117.00 --> 1121.00] So their movie division had an operating loss of $10 million, which in the grand scheme
[1121.00 --> 1124.00] of things is actually not that bad.
[1124.00 --> 1130.00] You know, they could have sold a couple more tickets to something and it's kind of a, you
[1130.00 --> 1132.00] kind of look at that and you go, okay, well maybe it'll be better next quarter.
[1132.00 --> 1133.00] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[1133.00 --> 1135.00] You know, Hollywood accounting and all that kind of stuff.
[1135.00 --> 1136.00] Yep.
[1136.00 --> 1142.00] And so, you know, revenues increased in total 7%, although I personally, as much as investors
[1142.00 --> 1146.00] might care about this kind of thing, like Wall Street kind of cares about this, I kind
[1146.00 --> 1149.00] of look at it and I go, so what, you sold more but you lost more money?
[1149.00 --> 1151.00] How is that a business strategy?
[1151.00 --> 1152.00] That's not a good sign.
[1152.00 --> 1158.00] That just means you slashed your prices to liquidate and then you, like, on a very sort
[1158.00 --> 1161.00] of micro level, obviously they're doing it on a much larger scale.
[1161.00 --> 1162.00] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[1162.00 --> 1164.00] Slashing things and liquidating.
[1164.00 --> 1169.00] And then their music division posted slight profits and PlayStation 4 maintained healthy
[1169.00 --> 1178.00] sales, although I really have to wonder with the way AAA gaming is going, is PlayStation
[1178.00 --> 1182.00] 4 a worthy competitor to the Wii U right now?
[1182.00 --> 1184.00] Oh, Wii U is smashing it so far.
[1184.00 --> 1185.00] And like with-
[1185.00 --> 1186.00] Get it, smashing it?
[1186.00 --> 1188.00] That was actually the point, yeah.
[1188.00 --> 1189.00] Sorry.
[1189.00 --> 1190.00] Yeah.
[1190.00 --> 1191.00] Boom.
[1191.00 --> 1192.00] Um.
[1192.00 --> 1193.00] Fist smash!
[1193.00 --> 1194.00] Smash stick!
[1194.00 --> 1198.00] Anyways, they're doing really well and with Smash around the corner and with, uh, what
[1198.00 --> 1199.00] is it called?
[1199.00 --> 1201.00] Squid, Squidroo or, I can't remember the name of the game.
[1201.00 --> 1202.00] Uh, Splatoon!
[1202.00 --> 1203.00] There we go.
[1203.00 --> 1206.00] With that around the corner getting really, really good reviews.
[1206.00 --> 1209.00] The Wii U has just been doing incredibly well lately.
[1209.00 --> 1213.00] And, uh, like something that I thought was amazing, which I tweeted out not that long
[1213.00 --> 1219.00] ago, was a whole bunch of Xbox and PlayStation, like that style of next gen console fanboys
[1219.00 --> 1223.00] ragging on Wii U before Xbox One and PS4 had been released.
[1223.00 --> 1224.00] Right.
[1224.00 --> 1227.00] Like, you think it's cool that you can run like 1080p 60fps?
[1227.00 --> 1228.00] That's pathetic!
[1228.00 --> 1229.00] Oh yeah!
[1229.00 --> 1234.00] I get a kick out of how many console fanboys still think that they're getting 4K at some
[1234.00 --> 1235.00] point.
[1235.00 --> 1237.00] No you aren't!
[1237.00 --> 1238.00] No dude, no.
[1238.00 --> 1241.00] Um, I don't, I don't know, I think it still will.
[1241.00 --> 1247.00] Um, because no matter how much I can go, like, yeah, the best setup is a Wii U and a
[1247.00 --> 1251.00] PC, or if you just have like little kids, maybe just a Wii U or something.
[1251.00 --> 1255.00] Um, because I'm a huge fan of Wii U and I'm a huge fan of PC gaming.
[1255.00 --> 1262.00] It's, it's, it's in this weird situation where, uh, like, kind of like with World of
[1262.00 --> 1265.00] Warcraft in a lot of ways, you want to play a game that all your friends are playing.
[1265.00 --> 1266.00] Yeah.
[1266.00 --> 1268.00] That's one of the big reasons why World of Warcraft exploded.
[1268.00 --> 1269.00] Yeah.
[1269.00 --> 1272.00] It's because if people wanted to play a game with a lot of their friends, it just catalyzed
[1272.00 --> 1275.00] so quickly because so many people started playing and it just blew up.
[1275.00 --> 1277.00] And that happens with consoles as well.
[1277.00 --> 1281.00] I remember being in high school, I wanted to play games with my friends.
[1281.00 --> 1286.00] Every single friend that I had was playing on consoles and then there's like me with my computer.
[1286.00 --> 1287.00] I'm like, yay.
[1287.00 --> 1288.00] Okay.
[1288.00 --> 1290.00] Hey guys, do you want to get together and play some games?
[1290.00 --> 1293.00] Um, where do I plug in my mouse and keyboard?
[1293.00 --> 1295.00] They're like, what?
[1295.00 --> 1298.00] Eventually I was able to like move everyone over onto my team.
[1298.00 --> 1300.00] But, um, yeah, there was a lot of console playing.
[1300.00 --> 1301.00] I had an Xbox.
[1301.00 --> 1302.00] I played Halo 2 online.
[1302.00 --> 1305.00] It was actually fantastic because Halo 2 was an amazing game.
[1305.00 --> 1306.00] Really?
[1306.00 --> 1310.00] So you didn't like catch the leprosy or something?
[1310.00 --> 1311.00] Console leprosy?
[1311.00 --> 1312.00] After Halo 2 I ditched hard.
[1312.00 --> 1315.00] I bought Halo 3 and I was like, wow, this game's terrible.
[1315.00 --> 1318.00] And then I stopped.
[1318.00 --> 1322.00] Um, but yeah, by that point I had moved a lot of my friends to PC gaming anyways.
[1322.00 --> 1324.00] So it just kind of worked out.
[1324.00 --> 1325.00] But like, I get it.
[1325.00 --> 1327.00] I understand why so many people are into it.
[1327.00 --> 1332.00] Um, I think it's actually, I'm part of that like PC Master Race group where it's like,
[1332.00 --> 1334.00] I actually feel bad for them.
[1334.00 --> 1336.00] Like I wish their experience was better.
