The drop in the PS2 sales (their milk cow) is to blame for the loss in the gaming part of the division and it's not getting any better unless the PS3 can pick up the slack.

I see your point, but I think that masks the real reasons for the loss.

The PS2 would be probably be profitable by itself... I think the blame is on PS3 hardware losses and the size of the gaming division. They have too many employees to support a smaller userbase than they had in the previous gen.

 

I thought Sony fired 16,000 employees already? The execs might be willing to let a few more go but I can't Imagine how productive this will be in the end.

They did fire a ton of people, but none in the gaming division as far as I know.
