Thats not good news for PS3 consumers. All Sony and Microsoft platforms have been sold at an intial loss, thats nothing new. What the losses mean for PS3 consumers is that Sony cannot buy new exclusives of note (as evidenced by SO4 and ES going to the Xbox 360, and DMC4, GTAIV and RE5 going multiplatform). It also means that Sony cannot push the PS3 as hard as they had been, meaning less will be sold, meaning developers will have less reason to work on the platform.
Thats a vicious cycle, that in no way helps PS3 consumers.
Unless by "consumers" you meant people who do/will own a Wii or Xbox 360.
starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS
