Is making a profit everywhere except the USA methinks (sells here for the equivalent of $340 US (after taking off the sales tax)). Which is why the Q3 earnings for their Networked Devices Division were in the black.

Sony already said the games unit was flat for profitability, and that reduction in costs for PS3 were countered by lower sales of PS2/PSP.   The surge for Networked Devices & Services was attributed entirely to a rebound for Vaio.

Exactly. PS3 is losing them slightly more money in the US than they are making in the rest of the world. We moving them up, USA is dragging them down. PS2/P making up the difference. Net result is flat, allowing non-gaming income to put the division as a whole into profit.
