To be fair, if he's making money on the Vita, why stop? It doesn't need to win the generation or even sell 10m to be a financial success.

Are you sure it'll manage to bring in the R&D costs with 10m sales? That would be 2,5bn $ - retailers profit - production costs. I don't think it'll break even at 10Mil sales, not even talking about profits here.

I'm not so sure, Gamecube made more profit than the PS2 I believe.

According to this article the Vita was being sold at loss at least 2011, even if this no longer is the case I'm pretty sure Vita won't manage to take in R&D costs fo a while. Gamecube moved lots of software compared to the Vita, much of it 1st party. That's the big difference.
