didn't take that into account. change a few numbers. 3.5 billion is certainly not a minimum, it was stated that in March 08 losses were about to reach 2 billion due to the ps3. So we will be generous and say right now around +-.1 -3.0 billion in losses due to ps3 . About 8 years to make up that 3 billion. If they make an average $100 per console over that 8 years they need to sell 30 million. They have sold 2/3 that many with 400-500-600 dollar price tags and the games are just starting to come.

I think profitability is certainly attainable.

 

PS2 only made 2.2 billion (probably around 3 since the PS3 wiped away the profits since it launched) in its lifetime, what makes you think PS3 is gonna make 3 billion.

The PS3 wiped away every cent of profit Sony made from 2000- quarter 2 2009, that includes all of the ps2's profits and part of the ps1's profits.  You still think the ps3 is gonna make it all back?

profit is impossible.  It's not even a discussion.
