In a long run PS3 will make sh1t load of money to Sony. Why? Well Blu Ray, Last time they didn't get much money from DVD sales, but with Blue ray it is different story. Not only this gen but when next gen both MS and Nintendo adopt Bluray in next gen systems( you know they will) they will pay licence fee to Sony for every disk/game sold.
Cell tech will be used in next PS, so even if it looks bad in a long run it is smart move. Just like in poker, long run is what counts.
Props to Nintendo, they know how to make money and stay in biz.
Ms? Well someone has to much money...

Sony isn't the only company that gets licencing fess from Blu-ray. And Nintendo will make its own format, like it did for the GameCube and Wii.

Uh, the Gamecube used a standard mini DVD and the Wii uses a standard DVD

and yes, Sony isn't the only company that makes money on Blu-ray, BUT they make more money from Blu-ray than Nintendo and M$(as in nada).

I'm afraid Globox82 has it right, either Nintendo and M$ can adopt Blu-ray or take an expensive undertaking of making their own high capacity formats.
