Errr... no. The PS3 has lost the amount of money that they made during the PS2 era, give or take a few million. It hasn't lost PS1 money yet. I can't find the thread, but they've *only* lost 3.2 billion (Sounds so weird using only and 3.2 billion in one sentence) on the PS3, and they made almost that during the PS2 era. The 2 billion or so the PS1 made is still here. |
Mostly right. It's lost more than the PS2 made in its lifetime (including to date) and has therefore taken a bite of the PlayStation's profits, but it has a way to go before it goes through all of the latter. It'll probably take a few more small nibbles this year, before the PS3 starts breaking even.
is this what your looking for ?
Unfortunately that graph (while still incredibly valuable!) includes figures for the PSP as well, so it's not completely trustworthy for our discussion. Nonetheless, it forms a great base to continue on.
