we shall see... the yen might prove to be a bit of a party pooper here...


SONY has been profiting under $10 from JAN this year they started profiting more now after 40nm RSX

YEN has been bad and they still profited so it won't cause any more problem and YEN has been bad from 2.5years now

Sony PlayStation 3 already made history 4 years as the longest running console that is hack & piracy free.

And this fact is a new hope for the video games industry.


That's also reason why it has 3rd place in console race ;)


its in 3rd place because of no piracy?????????????????????????????

You can take a look at the last 3 months, then. The euro to yen ratio has gone from almost 130 to under 108 yens each euro, the US$ to yen ratio has gone from almost 95 to less than 89 yens each US$.

 

That is too much, even for the 40nm RSX.

PS3 slim was making loss which could be recovered from SW sales so it was profiting in JAPAN,less the shipping,customs,duties,taxes in US

PS3 FAT $399 was selling for $40 loss when YEN was worse than it is today so it

PS3 was making under $10 profit in USA from JAN-MAR 2010 period so it would be making much more in JAPAN
