Sony Has Lost More on the PS3 Than it Made on PS2

[AnarchyWest]

 

Also note Fiscal 2009 is positive now because they didn't sell too many PS3's compared to PS2 and PSP... If PS3 has a good holiday season, Sony has a bad fiscal...

The PS3 ate up all the PS2 profits already and then some of the PS1 profits. In more than 10 years, the total profit of Sony Entertainment division (which includes Playstation mostly) is barely equal to its first 2 years of profit. /thread

2007 Q1 Sony sold nearly 4 million PS3 units ww...If they sell 5-6 million with the new core 80GB are they still going to post negative ? Have the manufacturing costs decreased since last year?
