Sony will make money from the console starting sometime
in 2010. by then blu-ray players will be cheaper to make

I think the Blu-Ray laser has already had most of it's costs reduced.

PS3s were originally estimated to cost about $850 to produce or something.... and the blu-ray laser and the CELL were two of the most expensive things at like $150 each.... both those have been reduced considerably (probably like $20 for both or something) they can't be reduced as significantly as they already have been.

The PS3 is on a ten year plan. Of course it's not supposed to lose money forever.

When new chips roll in, the system will be $100 dollars cheaper to make, and with the slim, maybe about $5. So when the Slim comes out at $299.99, Sony could be making about $3 per console, and about $110 per PSP Go, very good position to be in.

Let's just put it this way:

Sony will have lost more money on the PS3 than they have earned.

Is that just a random guess or does it have some basis.
