Yep... sony lost like 4$ bn on the ps3 & MS lost like 3$ bn on the Xbox360.

When they go out of production... will they have earned sony or ms, any profits at all? who knows.

MS's devices division (includes the highly unprofitable surface tablets) was announcing profits of $1bn towards the end the end of the 360's life. For that reason, I think the 360 become profitable, however, for MS's standards, the money the 360 made is tiny.
