Also, how much do you know for absolute sure, not what people have said, but actual figures, the concrete evidence and facts stating the actual loss per part?


It's as true as we can possibly know it... It's part of Sony's execs declarations at their last financial report and conference. It's not just PR, they're legally obligated to provide correct information at those events. There's a transcript here:

If you search for the phrase "catch up" in that page, you'll see the part where they make it very clear that they're only hoping to break even on each hardware unit towards the end of the current fiscal year.

UPON REREAD:

What numbers and who are you quoting when you say they are still losing money. I've read about 3 sources that say so, and 100 that say they already have started making profit. BTW: fiscal year just ended. The reports I'VE been reading have been saying that they profitted since January-February, which is a month away from the fiscal year-end, so...


What you're seeing is that their gaming division made a profit, not that PS3 hardware itself did (that would contradict the declarations I pointed to in the first part of this post).
