The profitability is really purely smoke and mirrors. The company itself obviously didn't actually make money it just sold off more in assets then it acquired, and issued more bonds to cover day to day operating expenses. In the long run all they have done is increased their overhead, and increased their debt load. This is actually getting tiresome. It really isn't something you can spin.
As for the shipments, and mind you I really couldn't care less. The last generation ended when the Wii U shipped. The discontinuation of PS2 production would actually go a long way to explaining these numbers. Sony would have to use all of the components they had left which they have to order in large bulk, and they would have zero disincentive to jam the sales channel. As counter intuitive as it may sound. If they were discontinuing the line their production would really ramp up to tie up all of the loose ends. Is that really the case I don't know, but the sales being that high isn't really proof of anything one way or the other. Unless Sony decides to qualify.
The most telling thing about this statement is that Sony still hasn't turned its gaming division around, and that in the end doesn't bode well for the division. It only makes it that much longer that it could become the next part of the company that the management will decide to sell off. Given that Sony isn't really making any more off of it.
