Same case for Microsoft and the 360, but losses on the PS3 were much bigger than the 360 if I'm not mistaken... |
I think by this time next year, or at least by the end of the gen MS will be in the black as far as the X360 business goes (at least assuming there were not a lot of hidden profits from whatever other products that have swum in and out of the ED Division)
In terms of the PS3 alone though Sony will never recover the losses, this coming quarter may help show that it is not losing money anymore, but it is easily over $8 billion in the red by now so it doesn't mean squat.
