And Sony may lose 40 bucks on every console sold but they make up the lost from Software and DLC (Home, LBP, PSN, Qore). MS makes tons of money from XBLA and their big games. The market is far from crashing again just look at the 2008 record breaking sales. -ShadowSoldier AKA Captain Bravo |
huh?
sony is very very deep in the red in the game division as a whole. whatever they're profiting from ps2, psn, and psp sales are nothing compared to the deep losses they're incurring from ps3. read their financial reports.
and microsoft only made a tiny profit last quarter, when previously they were losing just as much as sony. all these profits you talk about is nothing compared to what they lose to advertising.
even when games are selling great nowadays, the dev costs are too high to make a profit. that's why studios are closing left and right. you gotta read up on the news man.
