Anyone trying to defend the sony bsuiness model for the last two years is pissing in the wind. It has been a broken model... evidecned by the tightest margins you can imagine and huge losses FOR THE PARENT COMPANY. You cant dress that up. You might say why is that different to the old MS gaming division.... simple... the parent company was making billions all the while... in other words they could afford it. I really dont see why it is difficult to understand the difference.

And what if when its all said and done PS3 makes them 2/3 billion in profits, what if it makes Sony even more by Br and dl movie/music sales ?

Tell me what does the BR win mean finencially for Sony, if you cant then stfu cause you dont know how bad/good things were are and can be.  No one has a clue how much BRs win will benefit Sony finencially over its entire life.  In order to truely judge the business model of the PS3 you would need to know Br affect on Sony as a whole.

The only probelm with the PS3 and its business model was the parent company had to much say in it.   But that only means PS3 costs are not directly SCE or PS3 fault.  Big daddy wanted BR to win, well they now got to suck it up and eat PS3 production costs.
