Sony is definitely losing money on many ps3 games(if not most of them) cause only few of them sold really well, but they are still making profit on psp/ps2 games and consoles.
most MS profit goes from Xbox Live and Marketplace, Microsoft lost some money on games like Ninja Blade, Too Human and Project Sylpheed cause those are the only games that flopped on 360 that MS released.

Games make a profit at lower sales than you think

Did you know that only 20% of all games on the market make a profit?

did you know what you just wrote is BS

most games that are developed on 1 HD platform need between 300k to 500k to break even (sometimes less for squeals that are using the same engine Gears 2 cost only 10 mil)

and if %80 of the games are just loses then this industry would have crashed years ago.

Read the article.  20% of games are profitable, 80% break even OR lose money.

On the 360, the middle 50% of games only sell between 75,000 and 250,000 units.  That is well below your break even numbers.
