Have you realized yet that an extra 2 million or whatever sold with low profit margins will do very little to dent that 1.1 billion Net loss?

PSN is not a low margin business, especially since they charged zero for the service last generation.  Also sony sold a lot of software with those consoles, 900k PS cameras (an accessory with higher margins) which tend to be the money makers for the system.  I would suggest having your own train of thought than trying to regurgitate something you cherry picked in the thread to try to prove a point.

lol I will remember this when the numbers are released. Don't let PS4 success cloud your judgement of the parent corporation.

You can remember all you want, im pointing out that the improvement will come in their operating income, not the 1.1 billion dollar loss they forcasted.  They already took a charge of 870 million dollars (20 billion additional yen for 2014 ending in March and an additional 70 billion yen for next year) for restructuring.
