At this point, I'd be more worried about whether they'll have money to make the PS4 or not, given that they don't expect profitability until 2009 (which could also mean it will come later or not at all, since we know they're pretty optimistic with their forecasts in general).

If they do make a PS4, it's going to be far less ambitious than the PS3 in terms of hardware power, they can't afford to lose billions of dollars on every console they launch.

sony has other divisions, right?

That doesn't mean they want to waste money on the gaming division. They need to plan for profitability.

 

If their games division can continue to give BluRay an advantage in the format war, I think the end result will justify the losses.

Does anyone know how much Sony gets for each Blu-Ray disc sold? Sony is not the only company in the Blu-Ray group, so I'm not so sure those profits will be significant enough to warrant the billions spent on the PS3. If anyone has seen any good article about this, please post the link.
