| RolStoppable said: If I remember correctly, Sony made more than $3 billion profits with the PS1 and about $2.3 billion with the PS2, combined this amounts to roughly $5.5 billion in profits for Sony's gaming division before the fiscal year the PS3 launched in. In fiscal year 2006 (when the PS3 launched), the gaming division posted a loss of $2 billion, for the first half of fiscal year 2007, the gaming division posted a loss of $1 billion. So by doing the maths, this leaves roughly $2.5 billion of profits for Sony's gaming division since it exists, with further losses expected for at least another year. With how things are going, the PS3 definitely has the potential to eat up all of Sony's gaming division's profits they had made during two absolutely dominating console generations. |
As usual, Rol, your memory is very good. Sony has eaten through the profits that the PS2 made.
