I am not sure if 360 is still in the red, but I do not know where to find this stuff out. |
There is no way to determine this accurately.
Sony managed to run billions of dollars in the red with the PS3 despite having a profitable PS2 and PSP business.
The Playstation division lost something like 2 billion in 2007 and 1 billion in 2008. Ps2 and PSP would have to be profitable in 2007 and 2008 so only god knows howmuch PS3 lost on top of that to get them a 3 billion dollar loss in 2 years. My guess that specific PS3 loss was actually somewhere around 6-7 billion from 2006 to 2009, during which PSP and PS2 profitable sales softened the blow.
Xbox 1 as well is a sad story. They lost money and that hardware from day 1 to the last console made.
360 is not too bad, if it didn't have RRoD, it would be actually quite a profitable console.
