WoW is a bigger undertaking than PSN by far and it has cost less than 200 million to run since launch.  That's less than 50 million per year.  PSN probably costs less than half that.  The equivalent of putting a $25 price drop on hardware a year earlier than planned.

how do you know this?

 

 

 Was about to ask the same question, particularly when Blizzard's slightly-leaked financial information suggests otherwise. Going by Blizzard's own finances, it was closer to 200 million per year, not 200 million total. 200 Million dollars per year is a sizable chunk of change.
