Oh sorry, it only lost money for 4 years lol XD

And when it was losing money, it lost between 200$ - 300$ per unit, so I´m not sure if earning like 15$ per console later is really profitable for the whole generation. I think it doesnt.


Well it certainly didn't go from loosing 200-300 to being profitable in a day lol. It would've been gradual. Something like 2006- 1st half of 2007: 300$ loss per unit, next half of 2007; 250$ loss per unit, 1st half of 2008: 200$ loss per unit, next half of 2008: 150$ loss per unit, 1st half of 2009: 100$ loss per unit, next half of 2009: 50$ loss per unit, 1st half of 2010: 25$ loss per unit, 2nd half of 2010: 10$ profit per unit all the way to 2015 with something like 50$ profit per unit. But overall Sony lost money on the PS3, though that is well known.
