@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.

 

 

Ugh >_> If all of T2's HD titles were multiplat and the 360 versions made the LESS money, then wouldn't that make the 360 the biggest loser? This is all based on the assumption that HD games are responsible even though there is no evidence of that.

You assume that 360 games cost the same to make as PS3 games.  Have you ever seen a dev say that a PS3 game was easier to make then a 360 one?  If a Dev used the PS3 as the lead system, then chances are the 360 version was even cheaper to produce as it'd be easier to port the assets across to the other version.  DVD's are cheaper then Blu Ray discs, MS charges less to licence the games for their system.

 

ok so how much are PS3 games to make then the 360? i doubt it is as much as what your thinking, anyway we dont know what projects they have in the works which are clearly eatibg into the profits and if not for the ps3 games that were sellinb in the quater it would look alot worse. i am sure they have probably of made profits on the ps3 games that are already released
