You're right. With the 127/1 Yen/$ it is about $ 400 million loss in 2001.
About a third of this years.

 

 so twice the loss / twice the cost of the system = the same dosent it?

 

If we take the year before into acount it's a bit different than that. 2000 show 800 million profit for SCE. So those two years comined have a profit of $400 million, while 2007 - 2008 show a 3.3 billion loss for SCE. (Years are when year ends, not FY).

Although the PS2 was not or barely launched in April 2000, the R&D and other costs can be compared to 2007.
