The one thing I missed in the reporting is the PS VR2. With last holidays being the first holiday sale season for the new device, I would have expected Sony to mention how it did. Or at the least questions in the QA financial briefing about it. I could imagine it was a money sink hurting those operating profits.

About cost of games. I can remember being baffled looking at the credit roll for Horizon Forbidden West. It just kept going and going and going. Not saying every one mentioned was a full-time employee on the project, but there must have been easy 1000+ people involved in making the game in some sort of way. A lot of overhead is needed to just manage so many people on one project.

I doubt Sony is losing money on things like PSVR2 or the Portal. 

The Portal seems to be doing good, but the PSVR2 must have cost a lot to develop with it's new tech. Seeing that enthusiasm has diminished rapidly for this device, I would be surprised if it can recoup those costs.
