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.
We are going to see a lot of crap South Park products since they sold out to paramount years ago. It's their IP they can sell out, of course; it just means the quality of their show has tanked and other products as well. Nevertheless, they put on excellent musicals, but those haven't been sold to a mega corporation.

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?
