Yeah I'd have to agree with that too, suggested production cost was $160 for Vita. That leaves enough wiggle room for some profit. The author misinterpreted the interview he based his article on, or purposevly spun it. Here's the quote:
"aim to turn a profit withint three years in the body of the Vita sale."
By "body" he means in total. They predict to sell enough Vita's in 3 years to make more money than it cost to create it. Not too bad over a 5 to 7 year life cycle.

They are selling it at a loss!

Read the original artcle for crying out loud. I even quoted him for you. Blatently saying turn a profit, body of sales. It might sound wierd to you because its a japanese translation and is business lingo but its obvious to us.
