=p. In all those years on Vgchartz I read a lot of 'Sony makes profit on every PS3 sold, Sony is making profit on this;..And that;..' and every time they post a loss.
Sony is for sure not making a lot of profit with Ps plus. Every discount ends up with a low margin of profit for Sony. I am pretty sure that they have contracts that they pay around 5$ bucks for every game downloaded (red dead/just cause 2/ borderlands).
It is just sony's way to create better relations with the devs/publishers that is also why most of the 'free' games are made in the Western market.
And ofcourse trying to establish a bigger community on PSN. It is working because you now exactly get fans who come up with idiot comments as
'Wow I only have to pay 50 $ to get free games' Then again I only had to pay 400$ and Samsung gave me a free tv o_o! |
as the owner of the platform Sony doesn't make money by people buying stuff, they make money by people adding money to their psn wallets
|
So if I buy something with my creditcard on PSn they don't make money? Was their even some thing like a PSn wallet before 2009? I remember that it was a big deal that sony finally announced the PSn cards/vouchers =p.

To buy anything from PSN you have to add funds to your wallet anyway (it has been there from the start) and that's the point when Sony makes money (there are big restrictions for actually receiving funds back). The more people are inclined to add funds to their psn wallets, the better for Sony.
