He says the PlayStation brand has been around for decades...um, math isn't this guy's strong suit (nor is writing, for that matter), is it?

There is absolutely no way in hell that the PS3 alone made $1 billion in profit in a single quarter, while PS2 slowed down, PSP slowed down, and the PS3 was selling more consoles at a bigger loss than usual due to a recent price cut. All 3 systems made less money.

But you could tell the article was gonna be baloney as soon as they claimed the PS3 has been outselling the Wii for several months in all regions.

Bzzzzzz WRONG! Ps3 selling at less loss because of the price cut.

Bit of a fanboy ode and no where did I see anything to support the claim that the PS3 has become profitable. I have no doubt that it will but let's not jump the gun.

Kaz himself confirmed it (right after price cuts)... along with isuppli. So, yes, I am sure about that.

No it's not.

It's the same thing if I create a word now (let's say: foket) and say it's been around for a decade, just because it's within it's first decade of creation.

PS has 15 years. 1 decade and 5 years. So not decades.

You can say it saw 2 decades in it's lifetime. But he's not been around for decades.
