So Sony could have already gotten a lot of money from PSN if they didn't extend it to Qore, Music and Video Store, and the other services. And when Sony says they make money in the next fiscal year already it means that even if they extend the service further (Since they will of course), they make a profit.

That shows that a good supported service like PSN can make a profit without mandatory monthly fees, and that even when they constantly upgrade it.

But it still doesn't offer all the services of Live and it has many ad services within Home and the PS Plus subscription now.

It also took them how many years to finally achieve this profitability from their free service?

If anything it seems to show the contrary... that in order to run a profitable, successful service you have to have subscription and ad income.

but home was only released 2 years ago, and has only now gotten as big as it is, and plus started when june-sept?

and all what features xbl have over psn??
