Now factor in production, marketing and R&D costs among other costs.
The 3DS was found back at launch to cost less than $100 in terms of materials, yet at $170 it's selling at a loss and will continue to do so supposedly until August. That in itself should be a strong indicator that the cost of the materials of a platform isn't an adequate measure in discerning as to whether it is profitable.
Also those opting for the Vita to be discontinued after 2million units being sold after being on the market worldwide for a period of about 3 months now, are probably the same individuals that claimed the 3DS was doomed to fail and that the handheld market is dead.
