Even if it only made a dollar, it would still be a success (albeit an extremely minor one). You're arguing that something isn't a success because something more succesful could have been made. That doesn't make the initial investment a failure, just less of a success.

Not at all, you need to include "oportunity cost" into that meassure.

Sony decided that creating a second handheld was more profitable, or better for them, than make a more impressive PS4, creating or buying some sturios, or I don't know, anything that could bring them profit.

PSV exists because it was more profitable than other ventures. It could be very well that one thing that Sony wants is something intangible like Brand Building, which could not really be meassured. But saying that making just $1 is a succes, well, you are delusional.

Thank you for saving me the effort.

I'd suggest you read my response.

I did.  You post the idea that Sony has unlimited resources which is absolutely not true.  Sony has a finite amount of resources particularly in regards to cash.  The company is in debt and needs to make money to offset that. Investing wisely is key.   If you hold to the idea that making one dollar over the course of 5 years would be a success, than there is no point in continuing this.
