"Now, although the PS3′s situation has been turned around to become a flourishing money-making console equipped with a rich library of games and dedicated community, it’s still never going to fully make up for the billions spend in R&D. This is a problem that I think will be absent in Sony’s future console releases; With the PSVita Sony have showed they have a new, great hardware strategy."

When was this written? The PSVita has been a continued disaster and in no way shows a positive change in hardware strategy in terms of making a profit.

I believe the Playstation Vita is sold for a profit. This shows that Sony is moving from a loss-leading strategy to a cheaper one.

Hard to say given that the Game division posted a loss last quarter.   If PS3 is sold at a profit now, where did that loss come from?

There was that PS3 price drop remember?

Now with the super slim PS3 that is most likely very profitable, and the Vita should be profitable soon too....I just don't see Playstation going anywhere.

Sony could always start making Playstation games for mobile platforms with a "best on Sony Tablets/Phones" marketing strategy. Again, this is a worst case scenario in case the Vita never takes off.
