It's not news that Sony loses money per console sold. There's a certain pricepoint that makes it not even worth selling for, because the revenue on the backend via software and licensing doesn't cover.  For example, if you had a product that cost yuo $100 to make, sold it for $75, but would get $5 for every unit sold, you'd be doing ok. But if you started selling it for $20, the profit and investment would be negligible.

I'd like to see where you pulled those numbers from, seems a large margin of error for such an extended period of time. Black Friday- Christmas, I could believe, prior, seems unlikely.


I would like a source for that claim - that they are losing money per console sold. Because last I checked, they were making a profit on each PS3 sold.

Really? You know about Google right? 6 seconds of searching finds the following:

2006 - http://www.pcworld.com/article/127906/article.html

2013 - http://www.play-mag.co.uk/latest-playstation-news/sony-still-selling-ps3s-at-a-loss/

At least now I understand that you're just going to say the opposite of the truth I'm providing, regardless of logic or fact.
