Sony is still losing money per unit sold, certainly for the 400GB models. They would sell them cheaper if they weren't losing money, and they'd stop losing money in the division if they weren't losing money per unit sold. I'd guess, based on their financial results, that they're losing no less than $200 per 40GB unit sold.

 

What 40GB models?  Wow are you out of touch.  Read some of those links I posted, then go dig for Blu-Ray player price drops since the "$400 cost-to-make" article from 10.5 months ago.

 

They're obviously losing a lot of money on the cheapest model (which would be the biggest loss model) since their bottom line is so bad despite so many profitable areas of their entertainment division.  There's no way they're losing less than $200 per PS3 sold considering how bad their fiscal results are.

They're all estimates and they're all proven wrong.  10.5 months ago?  Look at recent fiscal results: huge losses.  "PS3 ate our money."

Where do you think all of the profits from the PS2 and from game licensing and BD licensing are going?
