@SpartanFX: I didn't disagree but if you don't make profit off what you are doing. What's the point? If the PS3 is their biggest revenue generator and it's where most of their games were bought for. This means the PS3 was also the biggest reason they lost money.

Um... how can PS3 be both the biggest generator of revenue and the biggest contributor to their losses? For that to make sense, they'd have to be losing money on each game they sold :S

Exactly what's happened.  Games don't turn a profit until X amount are sold.  They lost money off each game sold as they never met the magic sales number.

 

 

ievery game you sell makes profit, more games sold means more profit. unless you are saying that the profits off each ps3 game is so small that they were still not able to to sell enough games to make a profit, i doubt it though

 

Read my other post which explains profit and revenue.  You don't seem to quite grasp what profit means and how you get profit.  If you spent 10 dollars for 10 chocolate bars and sold 3 of those chocolate bars for 2 bucks a piece you still lost 4 dollars.  Your revenue is 6 bucks, your loss is 4 bucks.
