PS3 a faster money sink than the Xbox? I can see why no price cuts soon.

Let's just say that during the PS3 era, Sony's game division has already lost more money than they made during the whole PS2 era. That alone will tell you how likely it is for them to make their money back. Not even a PS2-like success would make the PS3 profitable at this point.

 

Another 5 years of profitbility for the PS3 will make up those numbers,along with the PS4 at a profitable,appealing $399.99 pricepoint.

 

"Another" 5 years? There hasn't even been a single profitable year yet. There was a profitable holiday quarter which was most likely due to software sales volume and the help of PS2/PSP.

Regarding the PS4, that's another story entirely, and one we can't even begin to analyze yet ;)
