Shake your moneymaker: PlayStation 4 is already profitable for Sony

While Sony is struggling as a corporation, its gaming division is doing what it can to bring in the cash.

The PlayStation 4 is already making money for the Japanese company after only half a year on the market. Sony chief executive officer Kazuo Hirai revealed that the latest console is booming and that the hardware itself is actually contributing to Sony’s bottom line. This is different from prior PlayStation systems, which Sony typically lost money on for the first several years.
