Sony still losing on every PlayStation 3 it sells
Although PlayStation 3 sales have been on the rise and Sony has a rosy outlook for the console’s future, it turns out that the company is still losing money on every PlayStation 3 unit it sells.
According to The Wall Street Journal, which examined Sony’s fiscal third-quarter financial performance, the company loses 6 cents on “every dollar of PS3 hardware sales.” Considering the PlayStation 3 current retails for $300, we can safely assume then, that the company loses about $18 per unit.
