ofc.
im not talking about profit on the hardware alone
im talking about actual profit per console on the complete gaming divsion
the operating income is -18,8 billion yen for fiscal year 2013
2014 forecast is 20 billion yen (0,18billion $)
they need 150 billion yen to reach the 1.4 billion $ goal

But the end of an old gen (2013) and the start of a new gen (2014) is expensive, so when those extra costs are away, and when they start releasing their upcoming games (games cost money to develop!) Then they'll see the profits rise. The PS2 actually lost 500 Million dollars in it's first year, but then made a shit ton more back later, so technically the PS4 is ahead of the PS2 currently.

thats all right and true
and i have no doubt ps4 can mange to do a 100b yen profit year (after the first die shrink. fiscal year 2015 or 2016 probably)
i just doubt it can do a 150b yen profit year (thats 50% more)
