I hope the ps2 keeps on selling until it hits 200 million, its continuing to expand the gaming market

 

This.

 

Its rumored the PS2 costs Sony approximately 30 dollars to create. The rest of the system goes towards pure profit. This combined with a profit off of PS3, and a profit off of PSP (with the recent surge in sales), I can easily see the company profitting on the 3 billion loss easily.

 

We may have criticized Kutaragi and balked about expense, but it really is like Yoshida said "The Hardware and Software costs are all coming together."

 

I doubt the PS2 costs only 30 dollars to make....I would say around 80 bucks (controller + case + DVD drive + MB + EE+GS + MISCELLANEOUS).
