Actually, Sony is losing money on each unit again. Don't ask me how, they indeed claim it's cheaper to build, but somehow it's costing them more than the "old" units.

Sony Losing Money on PS3 Slim

True, the Slim will still make a loss but definitely not more than the Phat model, that's been admitted by Kaz Hirai. However, he also admitted that the shortfall is more than made up by the sales from games and peripherals. As a whole, the gaming devision of Sony actually made profit last/this year. Which surprised me.

The lack of games is still a problem. I was thinking of getting a console recently, and the price cut made me take a long hard look at a PS3. The console itself is clearly superior to the X360, but the X360 has the games I want, while the PS3 doesn't, so the PS3 lost out.

Me too, console gaming is the plague. Everything must be plug n play and immediate action.
