Seeing as how Sony has lost more money on the PS3 than they made on the PS1 and PS2 combined, I would have to agree with that. It will some day "make money" but not anywhere close to the extent that it lost money. |
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.

Microsoft Lost $6,369,000,000 off of their gaimng division? Damn that's even worse then I though.
If Sony has no chance of making trhe PS3 break even, then doesn't that also mean that the Microsoft gaming Division will never turn a profit.

The Xbox 360 is now officially making money per console. So no, that's not what that means.
|
But will they ever manage to make back the $6,369,000,000 they lost. They definetly won't be doing that this gen and maybe not even next gen.
The only company that seemed to do really well is Nintendo who apaprently has never lost money off their gaming systems.

They may not, but they can afford it. Sony can't. People seem to forget the dire straits that Sony was in on the whole before the PS3 hype kicked in. The new execs were cutting products left and right and revamping like crazy. I think Sony is in more trouble financially than they let on at the moment. The main problem in the past has been that different divisions of Sony in different parts of the world can't seem to communicate well or agree on how to run the company. That may be fixed now, but the PS3, so far, is another product that they can't seem to make money on.
