and we have a winner. nice 133 million profit for the quarter for the gaming division.

considering the psp and ps2 are pretty much only profitable, the ps3 is still dragging them down. on the other hand its not dragging them down much. should be profitable on all three next year. good job sony. now everyone is making money on consoles.

We know the 40GB is selling even, since the production is $400 now, but the 80GB is $500, and it's been recently stated that the 80GB outsold the 40GB over the holidays. So, I don't see how the PS3 is draggin them down

 BMaker11,

Go look at the Sony Q3 2007 Earnings Release topic http://www.vgchartz.com/news/news.php?id=817

Sharky did the basic numbers, and later on I filled in his details.  PS2 hardware, software, PSP software and PS3 software just sold too much, and basically have to be too profitable for Sony's gaming division to only earn $133M unless something was losing money.  And the only likely suspect is the PS3 box.  

Either that, or they have in development one hell of a game, which in one quarter cost around $650M to produce.   Now I know that PS3 games are supposed to be more expensive to create, but WHOA!!!   ;)
