Why has the PS3 outsold the 360 by almost 1.5 million units this year?

When is the PS3 going to stop losing money? That's what Sony's investors want to know...because it's looking like 2010 before they stand any chance.

 

 Maybe next week? Maybe now? The ps3's manufacturing price was said to be 400 earlier this year, we don't know if it shrunk or not now do we?? 2010 seems like BS to me. SCE is profiting right now, if not from the ps3 then they are not losing much from it now, and they are  getting money from software, psp, and the ps2 [which does occasionally beat 360 from time to time].

And also who knows what M$'s profit/loss from the 360 is yet.... Anyone???

-$3 billion from xbox

-$2.5 billion from xbox 360

that sound about right?

and heruamon, the ps3 may be losing money, but it also helped Sony make money in other places.  It helped win the "high def war" which will mean continues sales of blu ray players and blu ray movies that Sony makes and for the studios Sony owns.  Also, you have to have a high def tv to watch those and Sony sells those also.  Also, you can't take advantage of 7.1 surround sound without the extra speakers and, guess what, Sony sells that also.  So the ps3 may be losing money now, but it helping Sony make money in other places and the ps3 will make money in the furture.

Thanks, I think this shows my point quite well.

And I was thinking abuot mentionning that but it pretty much spoke for it self to any one who thought about it. Sony do more than just consoles and games.
