To summarize:
Prediction:
PS2 HW = 2.15 million @ $10(*) net profit = $21.5(*)
PSP HW = 3.65 million @ $8(*) net profit = $29.2(*)
PS3 HW = 2.5 million @ loss of $60(*) per unit = $150(*) LOSS
PS2 SW = 21.5 million @ $2(*) profit = $43(*)
PSP SW = 16.0 million @ $2(*) profit = $32(*)
PS3 SW = 19.5 million @ $2(*) profit = $39(*)
TOTAL PROFIT = $14.7(*) million or approx. $15 million
As per original projection.
Note: The reason I was projecting a range of $50 million LOSS to $15 million PROFIT is because I wasn't too confident about the PS3 cost reductions.
Though the weakening of the US$ is probably also a factor in everything.
