You are again wrong, at launch PS4 sold at loss.

https://www.cnet.com/news/playstation-4-to-sell-at-a-loss-but-sony-expects-profit/

 

"Bringing" money and profit are not same things, hole Sony (with 125k employees) last year a little bigger profit than Nintendo (that has 5.5k emploeyes).

 

Vita is dead (it has weeks sales around 4-5k in 2017.), but 3DS is still selling good and has same sales like last year, and actualy it will be again YOY when 2DS XL launches in few weeks. PS4 this year sold only 120k more than 3DS in its 7. year on market. Yes, Switch will be only Nintendo platform in around 2 years, but currently still is selling good, same couldn't be said for Vita.

i mean i dont know what the article you linked is about but 6 months after ps4 launched kaz hirai said this

published in may of 2014

 PS4 is also already contributing profit on a hardware unit basis, establishing a very different business framework from that of previous platform businesses."

Because PS4 did start selling with profit couple months after launch but at launch was selling with loss, and that was my point in response, that actually was sealing with loss at launch.
