guys breaking news look what i found. this consoldates all of sony's earnings in the gaming division in the past 8 years. i used fonts and smily faces where it would aid this post.

i copypasted below:

In billions of yen (¥)
FY2000    -¥51.0          //Launch of PS2
FY2001    +¥82.9
FY2002    +¥112.7
FY2003    +¥67.6
FY2004    +¥43.2
FY2005    +¥8.7
FY2006    -¥232.3        //Launch of PS3
FY2007    -¥124.5
FY2008    -¥58.5
-------------
=
-¥151.2 (yen) billion or -$1.58 (usd) billion loss

for sonny to break even they would have 2 report $0 loss or profit for 2009. and then spend 2010 and 2011 selling as well as the ps2's best year (impossible). and this is just to break even!! they will never make back the money they made with the ps2 and psp so that is kind of sad.

i hope this post helps people!!!

thanks for the info

to anyone outside of gaming fanboydom, sony is in a lot of trouble right now

if youre a fan boy tho, its 'just a matter of time'

people said the same shit about sega tho

in my time having systems ive had systems from a couple companies that left the game (sega, atari, panasonic/3do, SNK, NEC) and in all cases it sucked. so my condolences in advance to the sony fans.

this recession is cutting to close to the bone

It's not breaking news if it is already known

someone already posted the 8 year results?? i thoguth just the fy2008 results were given

 Pretty sure there was a thread of the profits of Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, and even Sega starting from when they entered (and left for one of them =/) the console business

Yes, but you can see their loses getting smaller and smaller since PS3 launch.


FY2006 -¥232.3
FY2007 -¥124.5
FY2008 -¥58.5

Their loss is getting smaller so its expected for Sony to start making profit again. This blu ray thing really damaged them

how much have they made from BR?

dear thread police:

this i had not seen before, so i was informed.  how about you go around to all the mgs 4 threads, or wii is not for hardcore threads, because thats where the boring repitition is.

Your friend,

pyramid head

i thought you were leaving?

maybe a profit but considering how much they lost with the ps3 the term it is still just gaining ground to reduce the huge net loss. but nuntheless any profit is good. I see

fy2009 -¥10.0
fy2010 +¥7.0
fy2011 +¥13.0
fy2012 -¥182 launch of ps4 lol.
