From the graphs its easy to decipher that the SONY's game division has been the goose that lays the golden egg. It contributes to as much as half of the profits when it performs. '09 looks like the year when PS3 will finlly bear some profit. which is great because once it hits black they'll have more confidence to fight back. good fer you SONY

P.S. notice how the PS2 launch barely affected SONY's resources as compared to the PS3 launch. Blu ray was a bad choice after all

If bluray had not won the format war then yes it would have been the death of Sony. Fortunately for them it did win and that means PS3 will be a viable product for years to come.

 

 

Yes but winning the HD war- but at what cost? So far its bled them into over $5 billions of losses. It will take a LONG time for them to recover from this loss. If SONY pictures hadnt tried to wriggle its way into SONY gaming you might have a cheap, powerful cheerful and far succesful PS3 instead that product is now called the xbox 360.
