Why I think Sony are heading for failure with the PlayStation 4

Any ideas how many games they have to sell just to break even?

I remember last year it was like one or a little more than one for the WiiU.  It's probably at least a couple at full price,  plus with the changes in the dollar vs the yen. 

Plus, the most pre ordered game for their new system is BattleField 4, which isn't there game.  Time to short.

Well I haven't seen anything showing me that Sony is taking a loss on each PS4 sold nor have I seen anything stating that they aren't. So lets assume they are taking a loss on each unit, 1-2 games sold would definately seem most likely to flip a profit on each unit.

Sony announced it themselves and warned the investors.  It is then compounded and hitting them harder that the yen is losing over the dollar.  They had planned not to lose money PS4, but it's not working out that way.
