What's especially crazy is that with the PS3, Sony lost over $4 billion that gen. The only time PlayStation was never profitable.

PS5 gen, Sony has made more money than all other gens COMBINED......I have no idea how this is possible.

Well, for starters, they're making a killing on live services and digital content. And second, as mentioned, they're selling consoles at profit and no longer subsidizing them like they did during the PS1-PS3 eras. Those two things combined equal CACHIIINNNGGGGG!

The worst part, as a corporation, there is no going back. We're getting a stark sneak peak and how console gaming will be going forward.

They had already previously mentioned the idea of further monetizing the existing PS5 playerbase. We should expect PS+ price increases soon as well. God forbid they increase first-party games to $80 as well.
