How are PSP games not profitable for Sony? They get a liscensing fee for every game produced... and it costs them nothing for the majority of them.

The only thing that's losing Sony big bucks is the PS3 in the gaming department.

It's not somethign you can get around.  The numbers are right infront of your eyes up there.  The loses coincide with the PS3.  It's not some magical coincidence.

Ask sony themselves and they'll tell you.  The PS3 lost them tons of money.

Do you honestly expect the PS3 to ever be more successful then the PS2 in terms of profit?

If not... the PS3 will end the generation costing Sony money.

How is that not a failure?

 

 

Actually, when PS1 was launched Sony had one of the biggest lost they made. But they did managed to MAKE PROFIT FROM PS1 LATER and made billions on Playstation brand.

 

In fact, Sony had 2 big losses. In 1995 when Ps1 was launched and in 2008 in PS3's second year. But sony made profit from PS1 and i am sure they are gonna make profit from PS3.

Got any info from that?  Cause i'm looking direclty at their financial reports and I don't see it.

Where they lost like over a billion dollars on the PS1 it's first year.  (Let alone first two.)
