To be clear...
- Vita is dead = cost for game division
- PS4 development = cost for game division
Even so... PS3 managed to put the game division profiting.
Or the guys here will thing it's PS2? or PSP?
PS3 is doing a great job to hold the game division profiting... that's what I see at all.
PS. I'm thank you Sony to finally put a game division in your company and not merge with oter non-profit products... the things became clear for all.

But when the XBox 360 suffers the same fate and even more so with payments to Nokia (500 million USD), Kin (200 million USD), WinPhone 7, The discontinued Zune and the Zune HD (>500 million) during this gen, you guys come up with graphs that even include the losses of the original Xbox and stopped in 2010 when the Xbox 360 and the division started to make even more money, to prove your point that Sonys gaming division is not doing that bad.
Just face it guys, the PS3 lost about 4-5 billion till now, while the Xbox 360 probably made 1-2 billion. That is why I just laugh about all these "PS3 will win over Xbox 360!" comments. They are pointless to begin with this late in a generation and the market share is not the only way to measure success on a market place.
This gen, Sony did all the things people feared MS would do (and did) when they entered this industry. They bought their way in. They made a decision in 2009 when they went after market share and not a healthy profit. The problem is, when MS did this in 2001, they could actually afford it and they built a whole new brand + an online service. Sony did not built anything, they used that money to survive in this industry.

Ok so the Playstation Network and Sony's substantial investment into its 1st party studios must be a figment of my imagination. You accuse others of being ignorant but that statement of yours doesn't reflect well on you.

You took that too literally....but PSN is nowehere close to the investments MS puts into Live. MS has been building up their 1st party studios substantially as well where as Sonys acquisitions are few and far between this gen.
But you missed the point that PS3 lost billions more this gen where as 360 made more money this gen, regardless of lifetime sales.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
