If the reductions are as big as people are claiming, it should show up in a steady improvement in earnings every quarter. |
Exactly. You can't tell me that the PS3 is nearing a breakeven point while the PS2 and PSP are making money (along with PS3 software sales bringing in revenue) and then scream "MARKETING COSTS!" when Sony posts a $500m+ loss in three months.
Yeah, Sony is spending ~$160m/month in marketing and overheard, not including the revenue generated by PS2/PSP/PS3 software.
*rolls eyes*
I'm going to laugh my ass off when Sony posts SCE's quarterly report in a few days. It might not be $500m, but it will be a lot and I'm curious to know how the fanboys will explain that huge number away while still telling us that the PS3 is going to break even any day now.
