Ok, ok. I'll answer your question seriously.
Let's say Sony produced 500k Ps3 slim last quarter for their launch. Let's say it costs Sony 280 dollars to manufacture.
Now let's say Sony produced 250k PSP Go's last quarter for their launch. Let's say it costs 150 to manufacture.
Now Sony shipped 1.1 million last quarter. Let's say they lose 50 dollars per console.
Now add those all up.
140,000,000 + 37,500,00 + 55,000,000 = 232,500,000. A little short I know, but you still need to add in advertisment. Viao. Walkman. Employee wages. If they produced more Ps3 than the sold. R&D. Ect. Ect.
