So the amount they loose on the hardware must not be very much if they are making a profit on the entire PlayStation Brand. Well at least that Sony shareholder on here cant bitch anymore since Sony is now making a profit from its games division.

Really?

Losses on PS3 hardware verses...

- Profit on PS3 games

- Profit on PS3 peripherals

- Profit on PSP hardware(maybe...)

- Profit on PSP games

- Profit on PSP peripherals

- Profit on PS2 hardware

- Profit on PS2 games

- Profit on PS2 periperals

 

hmm...

fixed. Ps2 doesnt sell nearly as much games since there is a huge used market for it. Also with periphrials. How come psp sw is all of a sudden profitable? i thought general thought on this matter was piracy kills profits. And you really don't know what Psp sells for. I find it hard to believe it will cost less than 135 to make one of those things. Also, with ps2 price cut I don't see them making more than 10 dollars per unit sold.

We know that Sony is already making profit on their PSP-3000 models. We also know that the PSPgo will be cheaper to make then the PSP 3000 but will sell for more. While piracy does kill the numbers on PSP games a lot of the more high-profile ones do sell quite a bit and do make Sony some money. Not sure if its enough to call them profitable in that area though.
