It's actually this one: http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/financial/ar/qfhh7c000000dh3y-att/ar2001e.pdf

Ending March 31st 2001. PS2 was launched the year before, so that's the first year of PS2.

The 2000 one tells you something about the R&D costs of PS2.

 

 

 as far as i can see the opperating income was -51 billion yen when the PS2 came out... can someone translate that to USD? i tryed but the answer dosent seem rite.... the convertion rate in 2001 was roughly 127 yen / 1 usd

 

That might be right. This year they used 100 Yen = $ 1 more or less.
This year the operating loss of SCE was around $ 1.2 billion. A lot less in 2001, around $ 50 million.

 

 

i think it was closer to 500 milion in 2001 wasnt it?

Edit: ure right

 

Edit EDIT: no wait a minute.....im confused.... 50,000,000,000 / 100 = 500,000,000
