The doubters have been silenced. Sony has done in one year what took Microsoft 6 years to accomplish: post a profitable quarter for their gaming division. This, despite the massive costs incurred with providing state of the art Playstation 3 technology at an affordable price that includes the Cell microprocessor, Blu-Ray, a standard hard-drive, and free online play with dedicated servers.

Sony is no stranger to reporting profits; before the Playstation 3 was released Sony had dominated the videogame business for years. However, with the costly inclusion of Cell and Blu-Ray, Sony lost money on their videogame division last year on behalf of their love for gamers by providing a machine that is unrivaled at a price that could be afforded by mainstream consumers. Below are the figures reported for Q3:

Operating Income (millions of U.S. dollars)

Sony Corporation $1,661

Game $113

Gotta love SDF...kinda like the Fox News of the gaming world: it's fun to look at, but no one takes it totally cereal.

Why did you even bother posting this rubbish ? I mean come on mate the " Sony Defense Force:" LOL you are joking right?.....

Maybe, but you didn't mention that sony is also working with ps2 and psp

 The Sony Defense Force is a joke. This article was not one of the more hilarious ones.. you should scroll down on their page..

This is a tame SDF article. No fun. Waste of thread space.

well even though those guys are a joke its funny to read what they right

I find their article titled "PS3 on pace to beat Xbox 360!" hilarious, especially the way they see the PS3 outselling the Wii in their "projection".

Has X360 been out 6 years? What a silly statement.
