| Seihyouken said: Sony will definitely not make the same amount of money off the PS3 that they did with the PS2, but it's pretty foolish to think that they won't at least break even, especially if they delay the PS4 until 2013 or so. Consider the following: Sony made about $50,000,000 last quarter despite the huge amount of PS3s sold at Sony's loss. The new 80GB and 160GB PS3s about to be released are almost definitely profitable. If true, that means that the only things that will be dragging Sony's profits down would be game/software development and upkeep as well as future price cuts. |
Like I said above... that depends entirely on what you look at.
If you are talking the PS division as a whole, and the timeframe from PS3 launch to PS4 launch, then yes I believe they should make an overall profit (currently $3billion down though)
If you are seperating the PS3 from the rest, then I am pretty sure it will not manage it, as it must have lost at least 5 billion already, and is still losing money
