Can you link? I'm interested in reading as I never heard of this number.

Thanks for that...

Ok I've heard of the official statement of PS+ + PS4 = profit for Sony but surely they don't mean PS4 + $60 as Eurogamer speculated? PS+ is a service with overhead, or do they simply consider it pure profit and lump the cost associated with running PS+ to operation?

Interesting and thanks for the link.

I don't know actually. But sony stated they'll be selling ps4 at a loss, but that's all they said. So the 60$ isn't confrimed ofcourse. It will also vary from currency to currency. So if it's a 60$ loss in USA it will be less in Europe I think.
we also don't know how ps+ works, only rumors on the strategy so far.

We know for sure that they pay the IP owner to get third party game on the platform. Eurogamer did a coverage on it where avalanche said they were not getting money for Just Cause 2 on PS+ (because they don't hold the rights to the game) but appreciated the coverage while a indie dev confirm that he was getting paid to have his game on PS+.

Either way it is extremely doubtful that even half of the yearly subscription for PS+ can be converted to profit. The service would have a fair bit of overhead.
