| UncleScrooge said: I haven't read through the whole thread because of the heavy discussions going on here so I might have missed this bit of information but does this include additional expenses (stocking, shipping, PSN, etc...) or is it just hardware? Additonal costs would explain why Sony was still posting a loss in their latest financial report. And it still remains to be seen what the actual results will be if that is the case. |
stocking comes in PS3 expense
and this includes it and the manufactury cost and shipping of the console and still making profit
PSN is not included
the lastest FINANCIAL REPORT was for 2009-2010 year where sony was losing on PS3 FAT,HUGE PS3 SLIM STOCKINGS,HEAVY DISCOUNT FOR SELLING OUT PS3 FAT BEFORE PS3 SLIM launch
PS3 SLIM was losing very low amount which could be overcome by Software sales but previous losses in the year were too much to recover by PS3 and SW sales so there was loss showed in the FINANCIAL REPORT
from JAN-MAR 2010 SONY started making under-$10 profit on PS2 SLIM HW too
From MAY 2010 end SONY started shipping 40nm RSX PS3's which make more profit now
