Ok what u posted is talking about the job loss and the recession
has nothing to do with ps3. eery company is losing money and having to lay off people

Microsoft has a $112 million profit over the same time period.  That's not exactly "losing money".

Also, iSuppy released figures about 5 months ago that show the PS3 is selling at roughly $60 loss per console sold, and that doesn't account for shipping/warehouse, and retailers discount off of the $400 price, so at that time the PS3 was losing $100 per console sold.

According to a Sony insider, they were mostly accurate on everything except the BD drive.  They were about $40+ dollars off.  I believe the accurate figure is somewhere between $17 to $20 loss per sold PS3.  That's not much at all.  They should already have 45nm Cell processors in the newly produced PS3s.  45nm RSX should be soon (maybe sometime around Uncharted 2 release).
