1. They wouldn't be making a profit at that, they can't afford not to. Check the link in this point, it'll break even with the specs I have in mind
2. Only 1 of those games has a chance of coming at launch, and that's the New IP.
3. It'll be hard, but the most likely.
4. Looking at the Vita, that ain't gonna happen.

I hope Sony are gonna change after their lackluster Vita launch, I really do but from current trends, it doesn't seem likely.

I did, but you've gotta remember they need to sell it to retailers and they need to make a profit, $50 is about right, so Sony would sell it for $350 to retailers, at the lowest.

Not a profit.

So let's say the retailers get £30, with my specs Sony sells it to retailers for £315/340 (2 models) and retailers sell it for £300/350, this means they'll make a small loss on one model and a small gain on the other. Both models will be making a decent profit within a year, that's totally feasible.

A small loss on each system, let alone one model is no big deal, that money is easily made back in game sales, and in todays market a lot of money will be made through services like Netflix and PS+. If there was a £50+ loss then I could see how that would put Sony in a bad position considering their financial state, but £15 loss on one model will be made back really easily.
