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.

i think that thats the combination of PSP and PS3 being out so close together is the problem and if thats the case then Sony is doing better than it did with the PS2.....
