Just some rough numbers (New losses, not including the current losses) year 1 $200 x 15M units sold = $3Billion (next 12 months) year 2 $150 x 15M units sold = $2.25Billion (following manufacture reductions & 50 price drop to 350) year 3 $50 x 15M units sold = $0.75Billion (following manufacture reduction) total over 3 years if dropped to $400USD = 6Billion, so its not 1 billion it 6 Billion!!!!!!!!!!! to lose 1B more @ the same sales estimates year 1 $40 x 15M units sold = 0.6Billion @560USD year 2 $20 x 15M units sold = 0.3Billion @ 560-20 - 50(extra manufacture savings) = $490USD year 3 $6.66 x 15M units sold = 0.1Billion @490-6.66 - 50(extra manufacture savings) =$433.34USD |
You're ignoring the amount of money they'll make from ps2/psp hardware, ps2/psp/ps3 software, and Blu-Ray movies.
Also, a $1 bil. loss is worth it right now if they win the format war.
