I believe the initial loss estimates on these were close to $500 per console. The introduction of the 40 gig and 80 gig really allowed Sony to pair the cost down. The fact that they were able to get a blended per system loss to ($210 per console) is fairly remarkable. I appreciate your research. I appreciate Sony for splitting the cost of my 60 gig PS3. |
FY 2009 ends in 2010.
From April 1st 2008 until March 31st 2009 is FY 2008. I guess you mean that, right? I think they still make loss, but probably not as substantial as the previous two years.
But the influence of the PS2 on the figures will be significantly smaller, especially on the software front.
There are some very big 1st party games coming in this FY, as well as lots of income from licence fees on GTA and MGS4.
