Sony lost $300-$540 on every PS3 sold
Sony loses cash on each PS3 sold
Sony will lose over $300 on each 20GB PS3 sold, "And a further US$ 240 on high-end 60GB unit," according to research.

Bluray drive cost $250 and sony forced them to include it in each playstation.
also, nvidia overcharged them for the rsx, and the cell was very expensive to produce early on.
There were reports that the $599 console actually cost $800 produce.

Their "best generation ever" according to some here.

Suffers from extreme PDS
Price and the 360 having killer software and marketing rights.

Expensive manufacturing, PS3 was outselling the Xbox 360 for most of the generation.

from a gamer perspective anyway. Financially for Sony.....not so much
Depends on whether or not you put a tremendous amount of weight in to "first party" titles or not.
Because with the way some people are behaving at the moment, if they were transported back to the PS2 generation then they would be equally as dissapointed.

Non-Nintendo IP platformers rarely sell well. 3+ million is very good. And Astrobot has probably already quadrupled its budget

Damn, why even sell a 60GB model at that point if it weren't a measure to mitigate costs on the lower capacity PS3, but actually a further loss of cash.Sony lost $300-$540 on every PS3 sold

Suicidal corporate behavior.

Funny.
Going by Gaf, it almost seemed like Concord was going to bankrupt Sony.
Just a bump in the road.
Anyway, all the doom and gloom seems like a joke and is basically a certain demographic trying to paint a #SonyToo picture.

Will be interesting to see how Death Stranding 2 performs, how well Ghost of Yotei does, and if they announce any other 1st party games this fiscal year.

The funniest thing was watching the budget estimates balloon almost daily. $150M. Then $200M. Then $400M. Then some saying $500M. Sadly, we never hit $1B.

Hmmm what's the excuse for all these obscene price increases and online paywall costs now with corporations making record profits of billions every year?

And next year even better, and the next GTAVI... but well, for Mochizuki they are "disappointing" results xDD

The Cell (and to a lesser extent, Blu-ray drive) happened. Even at $599 they were making like $200 loss for each console sold. Damned near bankrupted the company at the time.

Careful there!
'Cause according to GAF (and the rest of the internet), the likes of Puppeteer, Afrika, Motorstorm, and Resistance made Sony swim in money, and that's really what the red in the chart indicates.
The followups people like Jim Ryan were extravagant buffoons who led to failures like Helldivers 2 and Astro Bot, and actually the blue in the chart indicates life support.
This is clearly why Sony should listen to our resident geniuses and go back to their 'glorious' PS3 days.

PS3 manufactoring costs was ~800$ and was sold for 600$, so huge losses in hardware and back then online for multiplayer games was free, so they didnt had a free money hack enabled yet.

arm not banker use monies to make good games and portimbles again
Concord's failure is nothing compared to Starfield's failure to become a "quintessential title" and catapult the Xbox series and Game Pass to the promised land by Phillip W. Spencer III. But instead propelled MS to release their games on PS. I don't want to derail the thread, so I won't comment any further on this.

The fiscal year of Concord and they broke profit records.
Maybe MS needs to release 3 Concords per year!

There's something called inflation: game prices are cheaper to buy than ever while they are more expensive to make than ever. So since can't boost units sold they have to raise prices to compensate it.
