 obviously we have: More (PS3+Ps4) sold than last year. PS3 still sold at full price here over XMas, so less sales but more profit. PS4, with PS+ and games is profitable, too, fewer Vaios equaled less loss, relatively low r%D ccosts, so all in all a considerable increase in profits of the division. 

 

Vaios is other division.

BTW PS4 is the first console from Sony to make the first Q post profit instead loss due the record breaking at launch.

The record launch isn't really the reason the PS4 is profitable.  It's because even if the PS4 is sold at a loss, it is only a small loss.  So small that probably the purchase of a 1st party, 2 or so 3rd party games, or a controller is enough to cover its loss.
