SONY lost 3.31 Billion on initial PS3 costs; May never see that money back.

[SlorgNet]

The PS3 has three revenue streams, which will more than make up for initial losses:

(1) games (disc plus downloads and online)
(2) BluRay media
(3) hardware devices (TVs, stereos, etc.)

The PS3 is powerful and reliable enough to hook up top-notch AV equipment to.
