The thing I did't get is if they now are making money for each console they sell, or if by saying that ps3 is profitable they mean that they have recovered all the losses caused by it.

It certainly isnt that...  I doubt the PS3 could ever get back the losses it has incurred.

Sony lost around 4.5-5 billion on PS3.

So if till the end of the generation sony were to sell 50m more PS3.

 

Each PS3 would have to bring in 100 dollars profit. If tHe PS3's themselves couild make 20-50 dollars profit.

Sony would only need each consumer to buy 2-3 1st party games to make back that money.

 

But again that is a long shot.
