They're only selling the Phat right now.... so of course they're still selling at a loss.... considering they also just cut the price.

But the game and periphal sales are, which is still ridiculous. I struggle to believe you're serious.

He must be writing of the Development costs of the console !

I really wish I could post a facepalm picture right about now.

I'm guessing you thought that as they produced Slim PS3s they magically created money too?

@JEDE3

Was it you that posted that thread about Sony selling the Slim for $300 and still possibly making a profit all while everyone was trying to say you were wrong and your analysis was extremely flawed?

While the console itself may not be making huge profit right now I would say you were still very damn close.

How many games last year did sony release for the Ps2? Only one I can think of is MLB The Show (And singstar). The other ps2 games I can think of are EA. I would assume to intice 3rd party to keep supporting the Ps2 sony would waive royalties or licenses. SW can not be that profitable for them.

Yes, it was me. I put the Ps3 price around 270-280 or so. That doesn't mean sony gets 20 dollars profti per ps3. You still need to take retailer cuts out of the 299, the box materials, and shipping costs.

Yeah I remember all of that. I just wanted to make sure.

I am surprised this thread isn't busier though. If it was a PlayStation brand is losing money thread though it would probably be flooded.

Nice to see Sony finally making some money.

i think its safe to say..phat is the only thing there loosing Money on

Ok, ok. I'll answer your question seriously.

Let's say Sony produced 500k Ps3 slim last quarter for their launch. Let's say it costs Sony 280 dollars to manufacture.

Now let's say Sony produced 250k PSP Go's last quarter for their launch. Let's say it costs 150 to manufacture.

Now Sony shipped 1.1 million last quarter. Let's say they lose 50 dollars per console.

Now add those all up.

140,000,000 + 37,500,00 + 55,000,000 = 232,500,000. A little short I know, but you still need to add in advertisment. Viao. Walkman. Employee wages. If they produced more Ps3 than the sold. R&D. Ect. Ect.
