you were asking me for proof how much R&D SONY had that it reduced SONY's PLAYSTATION division loss

 

how am i able ro give you that

 

i didn't say that PS division profited more than Nintendo by numbers but the R&D goin on in that division shows up and reduces your profit numbers shown to the public

SCE often reduced their R&D expenses by using technologies whose development was accounted for elsewhere though (like SEL).  SCE didn't pay for developing the Emotion Engine, for CELL, for Blu-Ray, etc.  Those costs were all burdened by other parts of Sony.

yes  SCE didn't pay for CELL or emotion engine but they did for the PS2 and PS3 optimising of those technologies not the original product

alsot of other reasearch also goes on in SCE R&D

What's your point with R&D thing? For one, Nintendo has R&D too. But, more importantly, why should their profits be discussed without counting R&D? When someone says Nintendo made more money than PS they are talking about the entire buisness, so R&D is included for both, just as well as marketing, manufacturing, shipping, etc. It's a buisness, it simply makes no sense to say how much money you made without saying how much you spent to make it.

i am counting Nintendo R&D

just comparing like:

 

                              SONY PS3                              NINTENDO Wii

YEAR 2005             $2b                                             $200(what Nintendo published)

 

i didn't say Nintendo doesn't do R&D but they being gaming sole company only push a TECH when its cheap as they can't be so agressive

but SONY can take the losses and Push for tech that is expensive and in the way make that TECH cheap by mass production even with loss at first
