Think you paid too much for your Playstation 3? Don't expect any sympathy from Sony.
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. That breaks down to $2.16 billion in 2007, followed by a notably smaller but equally daunting $1.16 billion loss in 2008.


Linky.

For comparison purposes only, really. Unlike Microsoft, who has nothing to really show for their losses with the Xbox 360; I doubt Sony shareholders are worried too much about it as Sony's Blu-Ray gamble paid off. It does show that Sony managed to halve their operating losses within a year while Microsoft is seemingly having more trouble doing so (in addition to losing far more money), though the over a billion put aside for the warranty extension and repair program probably didn't help Microsoft meet their goal.
