I did not know sony would take such a hit. It just shows how much money a company can lose and still keep fighting. 3.3 billion is a lot of money to lose. I have read it is common to lose money on the console itself and then make it up on the games. Microsoft I think also took a nice sized hit on the Xbox 360 game console. But Microsofts game console did not cost them to lose this much that I know of.

I still find it hard to believe 3.3 billion.

The Playstation 3 game console is very nice and has great graphics. But even at 60-70+ bucks retail price for each game(it varies) can they make up 3.3 billion that the Playstation 3 console lost and then turn a profit? Sony is a bit worried and so are investors. Maybe Sony should have waited to release the Playstation 3 when the costs of the CPU and graphics cards that go into it were cheaper.

Be sure and comment if you like the post or have anything to say.
