We can't account for suicidal corporations. As the Bankruptcy fairy flutters around Sony's shoulders, who knows what goes through their minds?

my only problem with that statement is quite frankly, the key decisions made were probably made 1-3 years ago.

True, but you figured Sony would have toned it down by now either way. The Vita i can get because although the PSP didn't quite do what Sony wanted it to, it did prove to be a viable enough counter-Nintendo strategy, but one wonders if Sony can really afford to go through the kind of financial damage they went through with the early PS3 (which wiped out profits from the PS2 era all told) at this point. Stronger corrections needed to be made, and if they're pitching a $500 console at a loss this time around, frankly they'll deserve what they get.

It wasn't because of PS3 horsepower that wiped out Sony's profits. If that was the case, MS would have had similar if not more losses at the beginning of the gen.
It was because of the blu-ray that Sony lost money, and that can easily be rectified this gen.

Microsoft had horrendous losses at the beginning of the generation as well. Different symptoms, but the same disease.

Nowhere near where Sony lost, and they also had RROD.
Other than that, the losses they incurred weren't bad at all, and easily recoverable with time.
