Ok Finally i got something. La Times reports -

That success has made the PlayStation franchise crucial to the bottom line of Sony. In one year, PlayStation accounted for 68% of corporate profit. It also helps smooth out the financial ups and downs of Sony’s unpredictable, hit-driven entertainment and electronics divisions.

68% is friggin massive, the article basically says PS3 is the major gamble - from 2006

 Isn't that a little misleading?  I'm sure the profit made by PS2 was less than the amount of money that was necessary to break even.  The t.v., camera, music money probably got them even, and then the PS2 put them over the top.  I can't be certain, you could definitely be right, the PS2 DID have some massive years, to be sure.
