Its good news for Sony that even though the games division is doing badly (losing heaps of cash), the company can still turn a tidy profit. Remember everyone - Sony is about much more than the Playstation.

True, I think this burst is mostly because of the European launch and then that article about "fastest selling console" PR spin again.

Nobody is crazy enough to accuse me of being sane.

For Sony at the moment, *any* good news is... great news. It could have been "PS3 pre-orders bomb in Europe"...
