the price cut is blamed for the losses by sony!

it said sales ratio,that can be directed to alot of things like mass production going down,yen problems,factory problems,new fabrication plants purchased.These are external factors

That may be a temporary thing because of YEN

PS3 just can't lose money regurlarly as PS3 costs are eaily below $250 if you don'ty add

the secon paragraph is basically what I just said. To calculate the PS3 loss you check the numbers. 5 billion USD reported add the profits by the PS2 since release of the PS3 add the profits by the PSP since release of the PS3 and add R&D costs before the PS3 even released. That is why I said 7 billion is an optimistic guess.

yeah i got that

i was just telling you the approx correct number as i have been following SONY,MS,NINTY financial cloasely for alot of years

PS3 isn't profiting in a big way since Q1 2010! For the whole 2010 the profits were 450,000,000 USD.

when did i say big?

if i did.i would meant compared to how much they were losing before as they were just draining money before 2010

And because of the price cut, these profits are gone again so that we might look at +/- 0 for 2010 and 2011 so far. And no, BluRay is not generating more money than the PS3 burns.

PS3 isn't losing on its own.It would be because of external factors in which case all japanese products would profit very less and in sony's case where they were profitting just a bit,they would lose

yeah i know blu-ray isn't protecting it right now,i pointed that out for the PS3 losses all time since 2006 and in long term
