As of when? Cause surely they've got to have decreased the overall loss since then as I assume the PS3 is pure profit now.

I'm not sure actually. This is the most accurate article I can find from 2009:

http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/post-ps3-losses-hit-4-7bn/010800

Considering that since then the games division has announced both losses and small profits, the overall loss should be around $5bn. 

"One mitigating factor to note is that since the beginning of 2009 any PlayStation related numbers also incorporate the performance of its Vaio PC operation"

It includes losses from Vaio.

Yeah that's true too. There's actually no actual numbers for the PS3's losses. PS3 losses from the earlier years of the games division would be much bigger than they actually were because losses from the PS3 were lowered by big profits from the PS2 (PS2 sold a lot after PS3 came out and PSP was doing very well at the time).
