Man you sure know how to make some special threads...

Actually I want to smoke what you are smoking when you made this thread.

Sony lost about 25 million dollars selling these PS3s today. They still take about a 50 dollar loss on each system sold and have lost billions thus far. Ken may have hit a home run with a ps1 and ps2...but he screwed up so badly commercially with PS3 that he should not be allowed near a console ever again. Sony wendt from console dominance to fighting for second position and being dead last in console profits despite having 2 proffitable consoles on the market...

You do know both PS1 and PS2 sold for a loss right? PS1 took 2 years before seeing profits, and PS2 took nearly 3.

 

Sony lost billions on those 2, then recouped when they became popular and started selling at a profit.

 

Oh yeah PS1 and PS2 didn't sell well at first, till massive price drops as well. See a trend? PS3 is a little behind that trend, but still following it.

don't just pull stufff out of your ass.  There are no recorded losses from the PS1, and Sony only recorded a loss for the gaming sector in 1 quarter with the PS2, only a 300k loss which was immediately earned back the next quarter. The PS3 has been losing money in every quarter since it came out besides 2 or 3 and has recorded nearly 4 billion in losses (not counting the losses offset by ps2/psp).  Do some research before posting.
