Well, according to the latest Sony financials they could well be. The technology blog has been looking at the figures which show Sony's gaming arm lost around $1.2 billion last year - an improvement from the $2.2bn loss the year before. Of course, console manufacturers, though generally not Nintendo, often suffer losses - caused by high costs/low install base - early on in a console's lifespan. Microsoft certainly did and it appears Sony are continuing the trend. Jack Schofield crunches the numbers.
"On Sony's own figures, the games division made a loss of $130 for each PlayStation 3 shipped. Let's assume that it's making pots of money on the PSP and the PlayStation 2: the PS2 is now hugely profitable and still sells more games than anything else. These two platforms could easily have made a profit of $1.2bn in the year. In that case, the total PS3 loss would have been $2.4bn shared between 9.24m PS3 consoles, or $260 per PS3 -- including any attached Sony games."
Over the last 25 years, there has been a fair few South Park games, and here GameSpew has ranked them all from best to worst.

Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
It was less than 260$ when the PS3 launched , u mean to tell me that Sony now loses more money than the time when PS3 launched ?
Quite an exaggeration. I'm sure Sony Game Division spend money left, right and centre, not just on the PSP,PS2,PS3 hardware.
But that's a blog for you, crazy headline or it's no-hits-ville. Normally where they belong, no exception today.
As long as I'm not losing $260 on every PS3 they ship, I really could care less.
Does Sony losing money make Alan Wake come out any sooner? Or does it make Gears 2 look any less like Gears1?
