The PlayStation division is making a profit, as a whole. The PS3 is not.

Why do you guys love to focus on the negative aspect of this while ignoring the positive side?

The thread title says "Sony losing money on PS3 Slim," not "Sony losing money on PS division."

Of course the PS2 and PSPs are making money. They are old as dirt. However, their baby, the PS3, is bleeding like a gunshot victim in ER.

I am curious what shareholders are thinking about this *experiment* and the lack of money this product is making nearly 3 years after launch. And this is coming from a 2-generation video game leader. You'd think Sony would know a thing or two about winning. Apparently not ...

Ummm, I'm aware of that. I'm just saying that people too often jump all over the negative aspect while ignoring anything positive.

I don't think so, CGI. I think folks want news - not propaganda and not spam - but news. The positive is - the Slim is here and the $299 price point will generate sales. The negative? Sony's still bleeding money off the PS3. That's the truth. And the biggest piece of news is - how in the world Sony let the crown loose after two generations of being on top? Even if they stick to the 10-year plan and the PS3 outsells everything on the planet, it was still in last place for 3 years. That's a poor, poor start for the former champs any way you slice it.
