i'm just talking about PS3 hardware alone, there was something else losing money too, PS2 and PSP should have been profitable as well.


I see, $44 mill from PS3 alone.

The rest of the losses I believe come from the 1st party software business which was dimensioned after a 120 million selling Playstation console, not a 60 million selling console like the PS3 is. In this gen the size of the 1st party developer teams are over-dimensioned, so naturally the projected software sales targets cannot have been met.

I can think of 2 other causes that account for (probably) the majority of the loses other than your pathetic attempt at a knock at sony.


Like what? Like including the Emotion Engine in the PS3 lol? That and developing the wand accounted for the majority of the losses during three years.
