So how much is the E&D Division in the red since the original Xbox came around? Its nice to see they are starting to pick up the pace diggin themselves out of that hole.

I dont remember anymore, but for what it's worth Sony has probably lost more with PS3 than MS has with the entire Xbox project (1 and 360). Or it should be close anyway.

Truly though,  we may never know much of a sales/proft influx Sony gained by winning with Blu-Ray.  Winning with Blu-Ray had an effect on almost every single aspect of their company.  The fact that the PS3 is even remotely close the 360 (With a year release head start) and it's 600$ albatross is actually somewhat impressive. 

 

 

The Blu-Ray variable only comes in to play if you assume that without the PS3 Blu-Ray would have lost to the inferior technology.  Then to make this really worth it Blu-Ray needs to win and become the dominat media for a long period of time.  Frankly, I dont believe Blu-Ray will ever dominate like DVDs or VHS did.
