I think this past quarter they won't lose so much money, maybe even make a bit.
Reasons:
- In the same quarter last year they had a break even result (yeah a $57m profit is pretty much break even for a business of this dimension).
- The PS3 should be quite a lot cheaper to make right now, BUT exchange rates should about compensate for that. However, exchange rates got a bit better since late 2008.
Regarding your three points I would say number 1 shouldn't be that expensive to affect the numbers much, and the same for number 3. Number 2 could have a negative impact, but that's hard to know.
Another thing which should have a negative impact is the PS2 price cut and lower PS2 software sales, but I still think any loss won't be too big. I'll say a $200m loss to a $200m profit.
