I'm not sure about profit from the actual system. I'm pretty sure about 70% of all of their new customers are unaware of the PSN being down. Your right though, they are losing profit.
Ehh, actually SONY makes hella money off of PSN.. No you dont have to be on PSN but you do if you want certain stuff like like Qriocity and Netflix SONY gets a cut from them to be put on the ps3 or they probably paid and are on a contract with SONY.
Yea your right PlayStation Store is a huge money maker for PSN they get bank from this that's all there is too it.
PlayStation Home is another huge money maker for PSN, people dont think it but home is actually pretty popular on psn, and everything in home cost money.
Thats just some i can think of off the top of my head, but SONY has been in the game so long Im sure they get paid somehow else too.
Im just saying don't think PSN doesn't get paid just because you don't pay to play online.
PSN being down= Profit lost, just in the 3 i can think off i guarantee it adds up to a sh*t load of money.
