So they made a profit in Q1? Q2 was a lot better in sales especially in software,more profit in Q2 must be possible.

 

No, Q2 last year was disastrous. They lost 96 billion yen Q2 last year vs 29 billion yen Q1 last year.

And this Q1 saw MGS4, GTA4 and GT5:Prologue. 3 massive games, Q2 won't see that.

It's worth pointing out that GT5:P was released Q4 in Europe & Asia, and Q3 in Japan. The NA release was in Q1, where they sold 224k in April NPD. European release was towards the end of Q4, so it would have still had some shipments in Q1, but the vast majority were shipped in Q4 (retail preorders were over 1m in Europe).
