And that's not even considering costs associated with advertising or with repairing PS3's under waranty We know that in the Christmas quarter, they made a small profit on the combination of 6 factors PS3 hardware losses PS3 software/accessories profit PS2 hardware profit PS2 software/accessories profit PSP hardware profit PSP software/accessories profit |
Exactly, it is that simple.
If PS3 SW/HW was combined profitable that would mean that SW/HW from PS2 and PSP more or less made no money.
