Well, it could have been worse. Didn't it take a couple of years before the PS3 became profitable? At least the 3DS helped deflect the losses.

Actually I'm pretty sure the PS3 lost quite a substantial amount of money overall, I don't think the profits it started turning later on actually made up there early losses. Don't have figures so I could be wrong.

Yeah, I'm not certain either. That's just something I heard a couple of time on the internet.
