Well PS2 is definitely profitable from a hardware side, and now apparently the PS3 makes more profit that the PS2 sells for, and I think the PSP makes money

On a software side, SCE are definitely profitable, most of their games sell in excess of 1m copies


How can everything be profitable when overall Sony Entertainment has been posting losses for three years in a row?

You're just making things up.

The 1st party software is not profitable. Sony games have huge budgets and never sell well since the PSP/PS3 era. Also, when MS is selling away a lot of their first party you can suspect that Sony doesnt make profit on their 1st party either (but it still might be worth it overall, because 1st party games sell consoles, which in turn moves third party software). The little money Sony Entertainment makes comes from the $10 license fees from third party. 

Explain yourself???

Because both Naughty Dogg and Inzomniac have stated that Uncharted 1 and the first PS3 Ratchet did well...
Do you think every game on PS3 has a huge budget JUST BECAUSE it is on PS3???

Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Resistance1
Resistance2
Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty

Are all running on the same engine with improvements between each games release... This alone saves tons of cash. If the first Ratchet's sales were good, how well do you think every game after did?
