That "nonsense" comes directly from their most recent financial reports:
http://www.polygon.com/2015/3/17/8231217/sony-playstation-financial-results-q3-2014
"The G&NS division's operating income increased to $228 million but was offset by a $93 million write-down of components for PS Vita and PlayStation TV. "This write-down was recorded because the latest forecast of PS TV unit sales does not reach our original forecast as a result of lower than expected unit sales in the current quarter," the document explains."

Its still income isnt it? That says it could have been bigger if they hadnt overestimated demand. But that is their own fault for not even trying to create that demand with first party titles. Also, i imagine this is because of the PSTV price cut. Vita price wasnt slashed, therefore it cant have been losing millions for Sony. Its not sold at a loss.

I specifically said they were "losing millions", not that they were being sold "at a loss". Between the writeoff and declining PS3 sales, the PS4 is what is pulling in money for the division.
