Has the "million seller" status lost its significance?

The sad thing is that I seem to remember a couple 5 million selling PS3/360 games being money sinks. Last gen publishers could cut their losses with Wii/DS games, but they don't have that luxury now.

Don't worry, there is big money to be made from mobile, browser and free-to-play.

At the risk of drawing ire, I wonder if it would just be more profitable for Sony to go 3rd party with their handheld development. The Vita is a great system, but I'm not sure if Sony wouldn't just be better served developing for mobile or (god forbid) the 3DS.
