Theres money to be made on some of those items
Interesting info - was it not actually posted on the front page of ebay for a while too?

Sony has some serious financial problems though - their profit this year is down BY 90%, 8000 employees must go.

Sony make a loss on the consoles. The only money making products they have for the PS3 are the games and accessories. So if the PS3 does get hacked and allows downloaded games to be played, then Sony would make a loss overall.

Sony have been losing money for years.

It was meant as a tongue in cheek comment.

I don't sell consoles or accessories. But I can see from a punters & my own personal point of view why Xbox 360 and Wii do so well. You don't have to fork out extortionate prices for games, as you can get copies.

FYI

To date, Nintendo has sold nearly 35 million Wiis, including 12.6 million in the U.S., Nintendo's biggest market. That's lower than Sony's (nyse: SNE - news - people ) PlayStation 2, which has sold 43 million units since 2000. But it's still pretty high for a console that, at launch, was technologically a generation behind its chief competitors, Sony's PlayStation 3, with 13 million units in users' living rooms, and Microsoft's Xbox 360, with 23 million units. This year, the Wii is expected to sell more than the best-selling PS2 sold in its best year, 2003.

I'm a very over-optimistic person so i'm really hoping this isn't sarcasm

Over optimism is often a mistake - reality check!!
