So you have proven you CANNOT differentiate ps2 vs psp vs ps3.  Okay fine - after sony reports a loss of 250 million$ this quarter - then they will have lost more on the ps3 than they made on the ps1 and ps2.....happy now...lol

Secondly, why would you trust sony PR when they have been  wrong every year about ps3 profitabiity?

Sony said they were going to be profitable in 2008

They could not predict the ww recession coming their way or the weak US dollar and strengthing yen.

Had everything went as usual PS3 might be already proftable just as they said.   

Sounds like a weak excuse to me though. I understand there's a recession, and it's doing funny/crazy things to the economy, but making excuses like that is just weak. They might as well say "well if 50 million people bought PS3 within the first year without a price cut, we'd be all set". These what-ifs are kind of silly. There are still plenty of other companies that are still profitable, let alone very profitable during this recession.

Instead of blaming the recession, look at poor marketing/business strategy. It's pretty sad that MS, with it's problem-ridden system is turning profit, when Sony, with it's supposely superior system, is almost 5 billion in the red.

This whole thing is just silly though.
