ooh so PS3 spent all of PS2's earnings. Ouch! Well it went from -232 to -124 to -58 so at least its getting better. Could it break even or even a small profit in FY 2010??

I thought it spent all of the PS2's earnings last year...

If you are going to look at it like that, each as seperate consoles, then the PS3 had spent all the PS2 earnings before it released.

By the end of it's first couple of months, the development of the PS3 had already run up costs more than the profit the PS2 has made up to now. (~$3 billion).. but the PS2 profit at the time the PS3 released was less than it is now of course.

-----

I suspect by the end of this FY, because of the slowing PS2 profits, the PS3 will have lost all the money made by PS1 + PS2, but the division as a whole from 1996 to 2010 will be [figuratively] hanging on the PSP.

 

I think it all just depends on Sony's actions over the next year for us to really know what's going to happen with their finances. It's obvious but that's the only way I can look at it.

 

Well we might have difficulty seperating things next year, as SCE has been combined in with the divisions in charge of vaio and mobile phones? (I think it was those two)
