Marketing, etc. is money Sony chose to spend. The posts speaking to a profit are talking about the cost to development for Media Molecule and their return.
If you factor in big marketing costs I'd be curious how much some big 2/3 million sellers do considering they cost a lot more (probably) than LBP which was actually developed with a very small team and had expensive campaigns.
Even allowing for Sony spend I believe that once bundles, etc. kick in the game will easily show a profit.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
