So now that the PS4 is almost immediately profitable, rather than losing several billion like the PS3, they are going to suddenly cut development of AAA titles? Seems legit.

Your comment seems especially odd considering they have already announced multiple AAA titles (one of which just released a couple of weeks ago), as well as numerous of their 1st party studios having been confirmed to be working on PS4 titles. 

I should also note that Sony's financial aren't the worst they have been. Things are still pretty grim, but a $1.3 billion loss inflated by a restructuring is an awful lot better than those $3 billion to $6 billion yearly losses they were making (dat 2011).

I don't think you understand how business works, playstation does not fund playstation products, Sony the company does. It is profit from their other businesses that allows them to crate products for their playstation business. Sony is not a gaming company like Nintendo, sony is more like Microsoft.

I never said anything to the to the contrary, i'm just pointing out that it doesn't make much scene for a business to cut funding to one of the divisions actually pulling them in a profit and that Sony itself is not taking loses as large as it was a few years ago (as appose to what you said).

Anyway, that's all irrelevant. This isn't a "will they, won't they" situation, since they already are. We know they are working on several AAA titles, and have seen multiple of them. In-fact they are working on more AAA titles for the PS4 right now than they were for the PS3 during it's first year. Seeing as how many titles the PS3 ended up with i'd say that's nothing but a good sign ^^
