microsoft lost more on its console than sony did. but they got the money back with software sales. its quite common to lose money on consoles, people are acting as if ps3 is the first to do so.

Sony made up the losses on the PS2 with software sales, but MS has yet to recoup the $6 billion it has lost over the last 8 years.

 

 

Nothing personal, but how do you figure, can you post a link or any kind of evidence of this?

It's very common knowledge that Sony made money on the PS2 business and MS lost $4 billion on the Xbox business and another $2 billion so far on the 360 business. There's links and discussion on this in this very thread. 

 



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
