Really interesting post from resetera on how the ps4 if it meets the current fiscal year targets, it's profit for the gen will be equal to the money they've made (lost) when you add the ps2 profits to the ps3 loses. So the ps2 + ps4 profits will have cancelled out the ps3 losses. But ps4 still has at least another fiscal year but possibly 1.5 years to go after the current one ends in March. And it will be very profitable for a few years after the ps5. So when all is said and done I expect ps4 to cancel out ps3 on it's own and then some. But unlike the ps3, the ps4 will leave them in a much healthier position to transition to an even more profitable ps5.

"The new operating income forecast for the year in the game business is pretty insane. I mean, relative to where it started. They were forecasting 190bn yen at the end of the last fiscal year, bumped it to 250bn yen at the end of the first quarter, now bumped to 310bn yen. For some perspective - if they meet that target, the cumulative operating income during these six years of the PS4's life (741.1bn yen) will exceed the cumulative loss of the seven years of the PS3 (443bn yen, ish?) and the cumulative profit of the five years of PS2 (264bn yen), combined. With another FY of PS4 to go"
