MS loss too much money to be accounted for on the original XBox and were bleeding far more then Sony ever would with the PS3 with the original box. I'm predicting they make a small profit in the long on the 360 as long as they don't release the 720 before 2011 which may or may not happen. |
Actually the PS3 has likely lost as much or more than Xbox 1 lost.
Sony's game division lost 3.1 billion dollars the last two years, BUT it also contained the highly profitable Ps2 and likely at least break even (if not profitable) PSP during that time. Meaning PS3 losses were even greater. How much greater? Unknown, but 1-2 billion isn't unreasonable. Meaning PS3 losses would be 3-5 billion, with more possible/likely.
I think Xbox 1 losses were anywhere from 4-6 billion. If it was 4 billion, then PS3 has likely already lost that much.
