PS3 R & D was so much. I was going to make a thread about this but then I got lazy. How much R & D do you suppose is spent on next gen consoles? More then Previous console? About the same? Depends on console?

They said operating income will be flat for the next fiscal year for the Games division due to R&D costs. So, it's not going to be anywhere near the PS3's level.

Even though we are in a Sony thread, I was kind of wondering what it is like for all of them. In general what is the case?

No offense ethomaz but Ninty never announced the DS being discontinued yet that didn't stop you from jumping all over it. Also so Sony expects to have shipped roughly 87 million by next April. I wonder how many Sony expects to sell next fy? I'll go with 7 million personally and then roughly 2 million drops every year after that.

I didn't know that, thanks. Quite pleasing to hear.

Although I obviously care about the company as a whole, I'm much more interested in how the games division is doing.

I'm interested too.

Last year when the CPS Division posted $2.8m loss everybody said the Game Division was loosing money too but the truth the Game Division profited like showed this new chart.

29.3 billion yen profit

The Game Division is not that bad to Sony because seems like the Game Division that hold the CPS to had even worst results.

Yes. Discontinued production does not mean all stock disappears.

Stock? They are manufacturing PS2 yet... here in Brazil (manual) Sony not stopped to build PS2.

Sony confirmed that PS2 production stopped worldwide.

Nintendo has no fiscal year projection for the DS.

Nintendo said they will manufacture DS yet just not made projections like Sony with PS2.
