Not really. Nintendo sold the 3DS at a profit in the beginning and then made a price cut that caused the 3DS to be sold at a loss. Sony sold the PSV at a loss right out of the gate, so they basically made the Nintendo-like price cut pre-emptively. And it still didn't help to achieve an acceptable market performance.

no they didn't. vita isn't selling at a lose.

Sony's gaming unit has been posting losses for the last two quarters which coincides with the PSV launches in America and Europe. Previously, they posted profits for several quarters in a row. It's not hard to see a connection. If it isn't the PSV that drags Sony's gaming unit's financials down, then what is?

You obviously don't know anything about manufacturing/marketing/sales so i'll just let this be as I don't feel like downgrading myself to your level.

Cutting your price by more than 30% just a few months after launch is the king of fail. No matter how you look at it, that move was epic fail to the highest degree.
