Can I get a source for this? I understand the PS3 was troubled at the start but that sounds insane.

This gives a good insight in the total net losses of Playstation from 2000 to 2011. They actually ended on a net loss. 

 

 

As you can see shot really hit the fan when the PS3 launched. It took Sony more than half a decade to turn the massive losses the PS brand suffered back to a small profit. Yet at the end of 2011 it was not even near 2004 levels. So the PS3 made a nett loss big enough to vaporise the profit of the most succesfull console ever made.

Man. Thanks for the info.
