However you spin it a loss is still a loss. Anyway 4 or 5 billion dollars in losses on PS3 hardware since launch will more than likely never be fully recoved by the end of the generation on PS3 hardware sales alone. DLC, software and accessory sales are sold at considerable profits and make up for some of the hardware losses.
Thank god, Sony CE makes a lot of profits from electronic sales, music industry - record labels, film rights, Blu-Ray and DVD sales, etc.
BTW: How credible is the source ISuppli in regards to estimating the costs of the PS3? These numbers seem to me best guess cost estimates. Unless Sony states its official than we can not take these numbers seriously.
