How did Sony turn the PS3 around but Nintendo couldn't do the same with Wii U?

I consider $200m relatively small for a company that only a few years ago was posting profits in the billions (though i'm expecting more than $200 myself). That's just my personal view though.

I know, it was just our comment about the PS4's sales that struck me as odd, since we have no proper context to judge it by yet.

True, but after 3 years of losses, $200m (i'm expecting more too) is pretty good.

Because PS4 is selling like crazy (better than Wii U and 3DS combined) Sony before stated that they not selling at lost, and Nintendo yet managed to make bigger profit.

Yes, but again, without proper context it doesn't mean much. There's more to SCE than the PS4 and there's a lot more to Nintendo than the 3DS and WiiU. Without isolated data, it's an apples to oranges comparison.
