[QUOTE="rybe1025"]The amount Sony has lost this gen not just on the PS3 but as a whole company is mind boggling.rybe1025
Err they were making money on the PS3 for the past 3 years :|
PS3 has lost Sony $4.7 billion article oct 09
PS3 has lost more then the PS2 has made aug 08
I never said Sony did not make any money off of the PS3 now. I said this gen and the PS3 has lost a ton off of the PS3 this gen. I seriously doubt the PS3 has made all that money back though or even close to it
Here is another one Sony gaming division posts a $889 million loss. According to the article it is due to low PSP and PS2 sales. Not sure how if the PS3 is making so much money they are posting a loss just because two other systems sell less. I would think just lesser profit unless the PS3 is not making a ton even a year ago.
Those links are old but the PS3 started turning profit in June 2009. Those are also only accounting for hardware sales. As they dont talk about the profits made by the actual games , which is where companies make there money. Unless your Nintendo who sells ridiculously underpowered hardware for more then what its worth.
