If you factor in that the PS2 and to a lesser extent the PSP were making Sony money during the same timeframe, the PS3 maybe has passed the record losses of the first Xbox ($4 billion in four years). EDIT: In the first quarter of the current fiscal year Sony's gaming division posted a profit of $51 million. |
this is correct. They have lost AT MINIMUM $3.2B on the PS3 alone. So they are right up there with XBox level losses. It would be wonderful to know how much the PS3 actually lost, but we'll never find that out unless somehow that specific question gets asked and answered at a shareholder meeting which I doubt will ever happen.
