Forums - Sales - Sony making more money from software than MS.

You are assuming that Sony earns from a PS2/PSP game as much as they do from a PS3 game, that is not true. The main point still applies, but Sony has three platforms while Microsoft has one.


BUT STILL SONY would earn more even with the PS3 alone

 

as last year's SW sales of PS3 were more than 360

lol $48 for a first party game? PS3 games don't even cost $48 in stores on average.


Uh.... they cost $60... most console games do [at least at launch]. Where are you going? I wanna go where you're going!

the retailers take money too so its $48



Well Sony does put out more games so I'm not surprised.

MS is in the business of making Halo games and charging for online play. And that's far more profitable.

Didn't they generate like a billion dollars the past year or something? I know I read something about that. You don't think they walked away with some profit?
