It’s easy to assume that giant electronic-gadget manufacturers like Sony make a bundle of money with every gadget they sell, but did you know that Sony actually lost money when they started manufacturing PlayStation 3? If you’re a hardcore follower of PlayStation consoles then you probably know that the 3rd model of the popular consoles did appear to burn a hole through the pocket of every consumer. There was a time when it cost a whopping $500 at the very least. It’s weird to know that even in those days, Sony was actually losing about $37 for every PlayStation 3 console sold.

It’s not really a new practice among game console manufacturers. It’s common for a company to create a line of extremely expensive game consoles–so expensive that the average consumer is not likely to afford them. How do the manufacturers break even or manage to create profit? They do so by game sales.

It was reported that as of December 2009, Sony spent about $366 for every PS3 console manufactured. And each of these consoles was sold for a meager $299. Believe it or not, this is actually the good news for Sony since they were losing even more in the years before that. It was reported that the earlier generations of PS3 consoles cost Sony an enormous $49. It may not sound like a lot, but if you multiply it to the millions of consoles created, it’s apparent that Sony was losing quite a fortune. Fortunately, Sony has managed to cut down their losses by cutting back on manufacturing expenses.

Do you ever wonder who writes the summaries and descriptions on the boxes of the videogames that you buy? Well, it’s no other than the Entertainment Software Ratings Board, also known as the ESRB.

Basically, it is the ESRB’s job to provide objective synopses, objectives and other game information in the game boxes and on their official website. However, ESRB’s objectivity was recently questioned when they released the summary of Dead or Alive: Paradise.

The folks over at ESRB seem to take an opinionated stand when it described DOA: Paradise as a creepy and raunchy game where players can watch scantily clad women frolicking at the beach. According to the review, the game also provides other activities where the player may attempt to win the favors of these women in hopes of getting closer to their company. The review also stopped short of bashing the game when it states that DOA: Paradise mostly involved “creepy voyeurism” and portraying women in an imprudent way.

Even though there are no laws that mandate ESRB to maintain objectivity in their reviews, the organization thought it would be better to just revise the whole thing. The newly revised description describes the game as strictly for mature players as it contains mature subject matter such as gambling, nudity and other sexual themes.
