For the most part SOny made losses when PS3 wasn't selling at par with 360. By the time PS3 was selling enough to catch up to 360 PS3 was selling at a break even. Sony did have to lose $billions to stop PS3 selling like Gamecube. PS3 was in a death spiral after all.

The same year PS3 launched profits went down significantly, PS3 was losing much of the money PS2 and PSP were bringing in as well. As PS3 prices were cut Sony lost more and more. Hence, its uncertain how much PS3 was losing on its own because PS2 and PSP were relevant platforms.

PS3 stopped bleeding money in late 2009 I believe, but it lost billions at that point. The Slim model also removed features to reduce losses.

Right, that's what I said. Sony sorted out the PS3 financial shit in late 2009, which is exactly when PS3 started massively outselling 360 globally and was able to start hauling in the deficit to 360.
