Actually, Sony still is losing money on PS3 hardware, but not as much as before. A recent iSupply report showed that the PS3 Slim costs about $330 USD to manufacture. You can read more details here:

It's definitely time for a new DS, bring it on Nintendo!
-motion control
-higher resolution screens
-16 gb storage
-full BC with original DS games
It's amazing to think that EA was ready to buy Take Two, and now they are a potential takeover target themselves.
I think it does not deserve the cover spot, for one simple reason.
While it is an expensive, exotic car, it is based on a retro model. This car is looking backwards in time, rather than forwards. Maybe they should have put an electric hybrid on the cover?!?
It is clear that the PSP suffers froma lack of quantity when it comes to third-party software. BUT if you are a fan of JRPGs, then it is definitely worth owning the system because it has the best lineup of those titles.
I agree with everything except the PSP Go. I am perfectly happy with my 3000, and would rather spend that money on games. The Zune is an interesting idea, does anybody know what the software interface is like? Better than iTunes?
Rockstar is smart to wait a long time between GTA releases. Frankly I'm bored with the formula and I want something new.
I think that if it comes this generation, GTA V wont be before Holiday 2011, or will be a launch title for the next gen consoles.
Considering the high rate of hardware failures, I would prefer to buy a new one with a warranty just in case. They really aren't that expensive now anyway.
I somehow knew that this game was going to be a disappointement, even though Ubi was hyping it heavily.
I am one of the few who refused to get on board the hype train for this game. It's a competent shooter, but I can't believe Activision was planning to charge $10 more than the standard price in the UK for what is essentially a 4-hour long single player campaign.
EA hasn't done that well on the Wii either. But that's OK, because they make scads of money on the other systems. Some publishers are better at certain niches, and we can't expect them to dominate every single platform.
I normally don't really care about video game music, but I have to say that these tracks -- especially the first one -- are fantastic, and really take the art form to a new level. I can't wait to play this game for myself with the sound turned up.
The PSP is in the catalog, just not the PSP Go.
Appearing in the Toys R Us catalog is actually a pretty big deal. Millions of kids use those books to pick out what their xmas presents will be. This is very, very bad for Microsoft in Europe and very good for Sony.
I wonder how much space the Xbox 360 got in America?
would you rather have a ginormous Nintendo DS for old people or a PSP Go? Also that color is ugly, regardless of the credibility of the source.
Yes it does, but the sad thing is that Nintendo will probably sell millions more of this beast, especially in Japan.
Great list, missing the zombie Nazis from the Wolfenstein series though.
Puzzle Quest was already a pretty insane mix of gameplay styles, but Puzzle Quest: Asssault would be downright hilarious.
After seeing R-Type Tactics on the PSP, I'm not sure that a Driving RPG is impossible, either.
For me the most impressive bit is when they rotate the table at the end and you can see all sides of the little dog chracter. Imagine a multiplayer game where everybody had a different view on the action.
It also would bring a whole new dimension to trying to look up female characters' skirts in Metal Gear Solid games lol.
An interesting look at both games, but I think they are wrong about Heavy Rain's limited commercial appeal.
The game has been hypd for so long that I think many will pick it up just to see what the fuss is about, even if they don't like QTE style gameplay.
