I'm pretty sure this has already been posted, or it could have been the "PS3 using money gained from PS2" or something like that.

Despite that, it would also help to include some substance in your post instead of just a link. Perhaps a quote from the link followed by your opinion of the matter would be a good start?

So what about when they start selling it at cost, or at a gain?

eh, who is this fellow anyway, probably correct but the ps3 is going to break even soon an with really good software sales i think they may be able to break even at worst

Seeing as how Sony has lost more money on the PS3 than they made on the PS1 and PS2 combined, I would have to agree with that. It will some day "make money" but not anywhere close to the extent that it lost money.

Even if they never make their money back directly from the gaming business, the PS3 won the HD format war for Blu Ray. They will easily, indirectly make their money back that way.

Errr... no.

The PS3 has lost the amount of money that they made during the PS2 era, give or take a few million.

It hasn't lost PS1 money yet.

I can't find the thread, but they've *only* lost 3.2 billion (Sounds so weird using only and 3.2 billion in one sentence) on the PS3, and they made almost that during the PS2 era.

The 2 billion or so the PS1 made is still here.

@vegabond

I don't think that is true, not PS1 and PS2 combined. I think Sony's profit in the gaming business from 1998 - 2008 equals about $0 though lol.

Oh my, how people split hairs and spin numbers.

is this what your looking for ?
