Theres a reason the financial report from sony is a big deal is because its actually showing really bad things. You got to remember, that sony's GAMING DIVISION is reporting a loss. That means that the PS3s costs are even eating up the profits made from PS2,(which at his point is profitable like crazy) which if you remember was supposed to hold over the losses of the PS3.
Not to mention, if you look at the bigger picture, about a year and a half ago, before PS3 came out, Sony was in big trouble financially(the company as a whole). Hence, it was investors saying it wasnt a big deal because once PS3 comes out, that would bring the company out of its troubles. Unfortunately, that hasnt been the case.
Oh, and finally, for those that are talking about why no one is really talking about the Xbox 360s costs (even though this quarter its the first time its profitable), Microsoft has never been overly worried about their game division. Their game division is just a drop in the bucket compared to the revenue they make elsewhere( only about 160 million bucks of profit compared to quarterly profit of 4.3 BILLION). This is the reason why they talk more about Nintendo and Sony's gaming divisions in these articles, as Nintendo is pretty much strictly a video game company, and Sony has been relying on its gaming division as of the past couple of years.
