... with three DualShock 3 controllers and ten new $60 games, is sony making a profit out of me?

knowing sony,no...but you already have a ps3 ,yes?

depends how many of those games are first party :P, but either way, I think its about a break-even

yea possibly since you're also buying 3 sony brand controllers. Peripheral sales help alot.

I do have a PS3, I just want to know what does it take Sony to make a profit out of the PS3 brand.

And yeah I know it depends of how many of those games are first-party, but the royalties that publishers have to pay to Sony for every game sold is still the highest from the big 3 right? I've head it's about $9 for a $60 game.

Just via the controllers they would be making a profit, never mind the games. If you have that kind of money, can you send some my way?

Hahahaha I never said I had that kind of money, but if I would I'd surely give you some...

Well i have read that they profit on the 250gb models. Also outside of america im pretty sure they profit on consoles alone. In australia our dollar is 90-95 us cents.. so not much difference. Yet our ps3 slim 120gb sells for $600 while in america it is $300

^This.

so loss per sold PS3 slim 120GB = 45 $/€?, that would mean profit on 250GB for sure..

seriously are they losing so much on US sold models then?

Europeans pay 50% more then US citizens.. you cant tell me this somehow makes no difference..
