@Thetonestarr: Well, if we count all the bundled software out, even the VGC numbers may show that PS2 not bundled software outsold other consoles not bundled software (although i'm not sure how much bundled software sells with PS2).
If they look at not bundled software for all platforms, it's ok, if they look at it from the revenue perspective, since the bundled softwares revenue is included in hardware revenue.
And were those the worldwide numbers? And where did you take the numbers from (besides the VGC numbers)? I'm on my mobile, so i can't look PDF documents etc.
@Griffin: Thank you for pointing the obvious.
@Gazz: Why do you assume PSP makes profit? And besides, by using your numbers, it's still 95 in the red.
It's not that simple anyway, you need to count in the costs of games in development too. Or should i say the running costs for games (and other features).
PS2 won't help for long anymore, even that it had great sales in december, the platform is dying away. And PSP, if its software sales start to raise (with 3rd parties slowly leaving, i wouldn't take it granted), it's not going to help too much either.
Kazuo Hirai is trying to get PS3 to make profit in FY 09, and he isn't sure if it's possible, should tell you how fast Sony can drop the costs of PS3. Or at least drop costs, while they drop the price.
