A) That isn't proof that they'll earn back the money invested in it.  It's just proof that it's their best way to at least earn back some of that money.  As Benga's C points out, they've lost more since PS3 than they ever made with PS2 and PS3 is obviously not the huge success that PS2 was.

Again for the third time: what you quote/write is an utterly, totally, absolutely, completely irrelevant point for any company.

You are arguing that if I make X dollars with product A, I cannot be profitable with product B if it costs more than X to develop.

This is so completly rubbish there is no need to argue about it. Nowhere in the "when do I make profit" equation does a factor enter that says if I made $100'000 by selling eggs that I can't ever make profit with cars that cost $100'001 to develop.

You're right, the PS3 could still turn into a massive success bigger than the PS2. Not many are counting on that to happen though.
