That loss is terrible but expected.
PS4 shipments are great but I expected the division to be more profitable.

I disagree about the gaming division profits. To be profitable this early in a new generation is actually very good, especially for Sony which has never really profited like gangbusters, contrary to many people's beliefs. To see this turn around year over year this early in a generation is really quite good considering the general way Sony handled hardware margins in this area in the past. It shows they made really good sound decisions in the division to be able to turn a profit so soon. The problem is that as a whole it doesnt do much or give them great leverage because its so slim compared to their losses so its great but in the end for the company overall, nearly meaningless.

No, they are charging for online, PS4 is selling extremely well, and PS3 would be quite profitable now. TLOUS R also sold so well and must have been cheap to make. Vita might be losing a little bit of money. Considering all those things, I expected higher profits.
