Think you paid too much for your Playstation 3? In the company's fiscal 2008 annual report, Sony revealed that they've now lost roughly $3.3 billion (that's billion with a B) on the Playstation 3 since its launch. Do you believe that?

Definitely not, just nobody knows how much they have earned.

That's not strange, just like all business man will tell you they are losing money for their business.

I bet that not a single executive @ sony felt any of that 3 billion loss. Should i put a question here? :)

It's not anything new that companies that produce consoles lose money for the first 3 years before breaking even or even seeing a profit for that matter. Sony has lost money, but So has Micrsoft and Nintendo with their past consoles as well. Losing 3 billion may seem huge, but for Sony it isn't, because Sony has A) a lot of money. B) they have one of the biggest electronics divisions in the world. So Sony losing 3 billion on the PS3 is more like an Itch then a deep gash. PS3 wil be profitable for Sony within the next few years, just like the PS1 and PS2 were in the end. Once the Ps3 drops below $250 it will see a huge jump in sales.

Ps3 has confirmed that they will not drop the price, when last week xbox 360 announced their price drop.

Absolutely makes sense....why such a surprise? MS has lost around 2B Quad Xeon/4GB/8800GT
