This may be true, but they are still losing money. It still costs them money to ship it, and the $250 is how much customers are charged--the store pays Sony less than that.

Plus, if Nintendo's taking a loss at $170 on the 3DS, Sony are definitely taking one for the Vita.

You can't really claim that with a 100% certainty though...sony have also said themselves that they do not plan on selling the vita at a loss. However the more latest comments suggests that they are selling it a loss but only slightly for the wifi model at least. I dont see them selling the 3g model at a loss though.

Also, as far as i know the 3DS has not been confirmed to be selling at  loss, or has it?

Yes, it has:  http://www.vg247.com/2011/08/01/iwata-3ds-price-drop-avoids-gamecubes-mistakes/ 

So 3DS should be more expensive to produce then Vita???

I doubt it, really!

PR, if you ask me.
