After years of making a loss on each console sold, the PlayStation 3 is now making Sony money
According to a report by Reuters Japan (thanks andriasang) the end of March was the turning point. The PS3 has gone through various manufacturing changes designed to cut costs since launch.
“Profitability deteriorated due to lower unit sales of PS2 software and PSP hardware”
Sony presented its annual financial results in an investor call today, adding that "despite PS3 hardware cost reductions and increased unit sales of PS3 software, profitability deteriorated primarily due to lower unit sales of PS2 software and of PSP hardware."
Sony sold 13 million PS3s in fiscal 20t09, 3 million more than the previous year.
