You do realize that the 2 other links just refer back to the engadget one, and that one only states that the PS3 might be profitable with the change of the processor.  You still haven't provided a valid article to refute the matter. Give me ONE relevant article from the media that directly states that the PS3 is making a profit, and how much of a profit per console is being made, and I'll agree that the PS3 is selling profitably on hardware alone. (As we know that they are making a profit via software licensing, that's common knowledge)

If you don't feel like doing the legwork, that's fine too. Then you can just reflect back to my original point on this matter, where Hiken suggested that the PS3 could sell at $150/unit and still turn a profit on hardware alone, and I disagreed. There's a certain pricepoint that Sony will not sell the PS3 below, and I believe that the $199 limit is as low as they'll go this generation.

Or you can refer back to the OP, and my statement on it - PS3 won't outsell the Wii LTD, in which we can revisit this in 2 years time.

 

 

Or I just call you out for being wrong on the PS3 selling for a loss.  This is what you said "It's not news that Sony loses money per console sold."  Do you still stand by that?  I don't care about the rest of your argument.

 I already povided you a link from IGN but here it is again. http://www.ign.com/articles/2010/06/28/ps3-profitable-price-cut-unlikely  This clearly shows the PS3 is not LOSING money per console sold.

 This is from the Media, coming from an interview directly from Sony.  Quote direclty from Yoshida "This year is the first time that we are able to cover the cost of the PlayStation 3,"   So we know in  June 2010 they were breaking even.  If you really want to stick to the fact that you don't believe they have lowered cost since then enough to offset the price cut then I cannot find an atricle to prove you without a doubt wrong.  I would hope this is where simple logic would come into play.  You on the other hand have not proved that they are losing money, post June 2010 where they stated they are breaking even.  

 I also provided three different links fully aware it was one source.  I just liked how those other articles put into words better.   They made it more clear to show why the previous estimate by Wall Street Journal  were no longer true. 

Once again, I am not arguing against anything but the face the PS3 is currently being sold at a profit.   I do apologize for derailing the thread but the OP doesn't seem to mind.

You still haven't posted a link that actually states any numbers relating to any margin of profit. That's all I really care to read from you at this stage. When you find a link with some real numbers, post them. That will be the next thing I reply to. No description, no long post to go with it, just the link.
