Okay people if you read the report it showed that hardware for the ps3 was down 9% and software sales for the ps3 were up 53% (for the final quarter). On top of that the pure profit they are getting from psp/ps2 was down 23-31% on the hardware side. The loses are not from the gaming side of their business, it is from stuff like sony erikson and sony pictures (last year they had huge profits because of movies like spiderman 3, this year they lost some revenue due to the underperforming quantum of solace). As far as the losing all the profit from the ps2, last I check no one just puts cash in a can and sits on it for 9 years. If that cash was invested it probably quadrupled so I would think that quote about the loses is just bs. If they really lost all that profit would they still be in business? Probably not, so lets stop with this rumor crap until sony tells us what the real loss/profit is for their final quarter.

 

 

The numbers are from Sony Game division ONLY.

The profit made from PS2 life (without the loss in 2001), which also include PS1 profit, in the game division is:

315 billion yen

So yes PS3 has already consumed all those year of glory PS2 sales, and that is without even substracting the profit from PS2 and PSP.

So in the Xbox 1 lifetime MS lost 6 billion dollars on its own
And so far the PS3 has killed the Game divison with 4 billion dollars and that includes the profir from PS2 and PSP.

So the PS3 seems to come close to how much Xbox 1 lost, and it has lost more money per year then Xbox 1 so far. But the difference is that PS3 will eventually make monet, Xbox 1 never made a dollar.
