Because Sony loss billions of money in Ps3' sales

The Ps3 was not a good profitable project in long run.  The PSP and PS3 years was the worst profitwise years for Sony.

So they lost money in from launch to 2008.. THe PS3 had 5 more years after that. 

And the cnet article is literally how console business works. I'm surprised that you're on this forum and didn't know that consoles were sold at a loss.

They sold PS1 and PS2 at losses very early on too, but not to the tune of $9 billion.
