I'm glad that I don't live in Europe, or else I would have to pay much more.

They do get it cheaper though. The American taxes aren't high. Meanwhile, many European countries have very, very high taxes and VATs

I can't stop to look at your sig... That ass is hypnotic... What was the topic again? Oh yeah, something about taxes, blah. Already paid my PS4. Was way cheaper than my Xperia Z.

I didn't know the PS3 only became profitable in late 2011 :0
When they say that, do they mean they began to make a profit on each unit sold in 2011?

wait thats a rediculous comparison. If the yens getting weaker then sony earn more. The fact that they buy their parts in US$ means they also earn US$ so comparing revenue to costs on a same currency basis is stupid. they the higher revenue on the weaker US$ is off set by the increase in cost at the same rate not more.
