Regardless of PSP GO's profit margin, the product itself must be losing tons of money. From a manufacturing's perspective, Sony has committed to manufacture a certain number of PSP GO for this year based on their sales forecast. Thus, a huge amount of money would have already been invested in the production lines to meet their forecast. Moreover, assuming that PSP GO is OEMed, Sony would also have committed to purchase a number of PSP GO per month or per quarter from the manufacturer, and probably all those extra PSP GO are now sitting in their warehouse at this moment. Unless of course, Sony forecasted the product to sell as poorly as it is now.
