Awesome. So at a LOSS of between $50US- $100US per unit - they will only lose $50-$100m US in Nov, and double that in December on PS3 hardware. Way to go Sony ;) Lets hope they sell enough software, PS2 & PSP hardware to make up the overall loss... ... I can only imagine how "well" they would have done with a $100US price cut... |
there is no evidence anywhere of a production value on the PS3 unit currently. The most accurate information indicates, currency value remaining constant from year to year, a breakeven on the console would occur second half of FY08 (oct 08-mar 09.) Based on that information it is highly unlikely the loss per unit is anywhere near what you stated. Between all 3 hardware units sales figures, the hardware portion of the gaming division is currently profitable. If they can sell 1 1st party software title per new buyer, loss offset. (and who buys hardware without a game, except for a wii which has the most fun bundled with it).
