even if thats the case the profitability isn't affected as SONY wouldn't announce it now if that as the case

yes and i am talking about that too

are you?

even if they are making low profit it is still profit,i was just questioning the user saying it just won't matter because of the YEN

Yeah high yen isn't good when you're an international company based in Japan.

If the price is the same but you get less yen per sale then your profit in yen goes down.

Regardless, hopefully this quarter the show a good profit.  They need to start making back those billions.

even if low profit

it is of signicant news as profit of any kind atleast stops loss what i meant

even if they are even,they make hugely from SW sales,easily more than $1-2billion from them

Those greedy people over at Sony! Who do they think they are trying to make money off what they sell??

Kidding ;)

they will make profit but they will invest more than half into marketing and R&D

they make around $10 from every PS3 game at full price,they sold 110m many discounted

plus they have  PSP and PS2 games plus they made a 200m SW sales projection which will have more PS3 SW sales as PSP and PS2 SW sales drop

also they get more profit from their own game sales as publisher

ACtivision alone gave SONY $500m royalties in 2008 for SW,many more by other developers and their own games

these can happen anywhere but the point is that making profit or not

not making a loss is a big gain

Solid_Snake4RD, well have to wait to the financial report. I hope you are right, and things change, because as things are now, it's very probable that Sony Networking Division makes a big loss the next quarters.

SONY won't make any loss from this quarter atleast not on PS3 side

unless their RSX came very late

how do i confuse between revenue and profit,how the fuck exactly?

you think Activisions royalties are revenue???????????????????????????????????????
