Yeah, when I came back to think about it I could have seen losses for 2011. I mean, PS4 R&D sure, possibly some late Vita stuff too. But aside from that, didn't the Japanese Earthquake & Tsunami have a big effect on Sony's operations too? I'm not sure this would have factored into the cost, but just something to think about.
$1.2 billion is a lot though. It's more than they lost - as I was suggesting - during the second year of PS3 when it was losing them a staggering amount of money. Oh well.
