The Vita is already lost. Left it too late to do anything significant.

It needed a big game. Monster Hunter. Gran Turismo. GTA. It needed at least ONE big game. Sony fucked up. Its probably a pretty big money drain when you look at the advertising. It got a lot of media attention in that last Quarter... Wasted money on a product that simply isnt competing.

Im surprised at the loss. Expected a small profit.

Also surprised that the PS3 is under by ~700k. Unless Sony overshipped it of course.

As I have been saying for the last 18 months.  You cant overship.

360 and PS3 both undertracked by 700k or so.

Now that it includes the PS3 I expect everyone will now agree with me. 



Exactly Kowen, I still don't get this obsession with over-shipping/"stuffing the channels". Like Sony's gonna sneak a few more ps3's into every order what it gets from retailers! It's the retailers fault if they order too many, not Sony's.

OT: Pretty bad from Sony still. Was really expecting them to post ~$300 million profit due to what Sharp and Panasonic were posting. Still think the gap is more and less the same, doesn't really matter anymore anyway. $6 million profit for Games section is OK considering R&D for PS4 and awful sales of Vita. Not looking good when PS4 comes out though, the losses are going to be big.
