PS3 is Sony's 8 to 10 billion loss burden. Sony has fallen since PS3 was launched.
Sony fans go on about XBox and XBox 360 costing MS $5 billion dollars. PS3 cost Sony double that amount. Blu-Ray has been a high risk investment from Sony. All the eggs have been put into one basket.
Sony is struggling to stay alive in the video gaming industry. Sony has to remember it has limited financial resources. MS on the other hand have virtually unlimited financial resources. Going head to head, blow for blow, price cut after price cut with MS could be the downfall of Sony.

 

Your trolling is getting VERY tiring.  Now you're just making up numbers!  Sony never lost anywhere close to 8-10 billion on the ps3.  They only lost a bit more than 3 billion.

Totals 1,953,000,000 10,762,000,000 -6,369,000,000

 

I call BS on the numbers mainly because we are not in Q1 09 for sony yet nor do we have those numbers their years end in march so Q1 09 wouldnt be for a bit 

 

I was wondering about that too. How did they get those numbers.

looking over these again brings me to another question, where did they hide cell development, unless the ps2 was far more profitable then we are lead to believe cell development spending which was about 3 bill should start showing up around FY2003

 

 

*also MS needs to sperate out its units so we know what they are losing money on I mean windows mobile is in there as is windows embed, windows auto, windows mac, media room (internet protocals and shit), zune (a gigantic sinkhole for money) all pc games revenue (that makes some sence) mice and that jazz, and consumer R&D think surfaces which is another money pit
