The best estimate is that Sony is losing some money on the hardware, but not much... around $50 at most.

Your post is confusing.

PS3 price = XBOX 360 ELITE price. It is not the same...

The 360 Arcade is still less than 200 Euros...

 

In fact, here in Belgium, you can find the following :

- PS3 slim : 299 €

- XBOX 360 Elite : 249 €

- XBOX 360 Arcade : 179 €

 

There is still some Elite bundle for 304 € with Halo 3 , Pgr4 and Gears of War



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

i meant to say close to the wii's pricing

plus it is the same price for the 360 and ps3 (well not yet)



Sony are profiting overall, not sure about Microsoft.

OT: Refer to ssj's post.



here in greece 360 Elite costs 249€ ps3 299€

How can Microsoft not be profitable if Sony is ?

They get some margin out of the console, Sony doesn't...

They sell more games via retailers...

They sell more games online and they have a fee to access XBL.

 

... ?
