There was a thread I am looking for since 15 Minutes and it listed the money Sony earned with PSN it was somewhere in the sevenhundred million range if I remember correctly. Doesnt someone posted in the thread because I havent.

700m???  yen presumably, even thats doubtful.

I seem to remember when they made a big thing of it making $1m in REVENUE in one month once.... but that isnt profit.

"As for the PlayStation Network, it was announced that it has generated $280 million in revenue since launching, and that Home has now been downloaded by 7.5 million users."

From Kotaku: http://kotaku.com/5340392/sony-talk-playstation-lifetime-sales-psn-revenue

So, it's probably across the $300 million mark in revenue by now. It must be profitable (how the hell could they have spent that amount on it), the question is how profitable is it? 

 

Yeah I read those news too but I also read that Kaz hirai said it will have 563 Million revenue at the end of this fiscal year:

 

 

“Kaz Hirai confirms premium level will be added on top of PS3 and PSP’s online service, which will remain free to play online; PSN revenue expected to hit $563 million this fiscal year.”

 

And he said that on 20 November 2009 kotaku news are from August so the 300 Million mark should be crossed a long time ago.The PSN revenue increased between december 2008 and december 2009 in NA by 155%. And December 2009 was the strongest month for PSN of all time.
