Nope. they don't lose less money because they already reported the losses. Its a "fixed" loss of US$1,969 million for FY end Mar 2007.
My question is:
Where to allocate all the "additional" losses. Because using the original $481(*) LOSS per PS3 console, there is another $1Billion in losses that is not allocated.
Unless the loss per console is greater - which is most likely the case.
Loss per console means:
consoles sold divided by (fixed costs + variable costs)
By definition, it would increase loss per console for the PS3. Unless other costs are attributed to the other divisions - in this case PS3 software.
Otherwise, it doesn't make too much sense for PS2 and/or PSP to be "losing money", does it?
That is why I posted the original question. I AM NOT SURE - HENCE THE QUESTION.
