Sony sells less software then microsoft this gen. Also, they spend more on hardware than microsoft. If Sony is making money off videogames that cover the hardware expenses, Microsoft is laughing to the bank right about now.

 

 Yes that's why Microsoft lost money last quarter and Sony turned a profit in their gaming division............

Ah yes...that. This is correct and fine. How do you justify Sony making more money on games alone when they sell more systems than MS at a loss and less games than MS? Its not possible...

I'm jsut proving OP is wrong.

What the topic should say is ..."Sony making more money on PS2 and PSP sales than they lose with PS3"

 

 

One reason has to be marketing budget among others things...

You see far more commercials related to the 360 than to the PS3 in NA...

Those third-parties Microsoft paid for have a cost too and you have to wonder if despite the 1 billion $ set aside for RROD Microsoft still isn't incuring some additional costs for warranty issues...

Proportionnaly Sony has more first party titles out than Microsoft too and the profit on first party is huge compared to the one on third parties..( half of the 360 exclusives are third parties so MSFT doesn't make that much profit on those).
