Doesn't negate the fact that Sony makes very little money on software sales.

But that isn't the point I was trying to make.

First party sure, the link you provided shows that. However third parties pay massive amounts in royalties.

2008.

"According to the report, Activision paid USD 500 million in royalties to Sony last year."

That's some serious money from software.

But Sony still reported a loss of over 1 billion dollars that year:

And this from all from the Playstation division no less.
