OK. I'm not really arguing against you here. I have no idea whether Vita is profiting or not, just saying whether it does isn't likely to be a major contribution to Sony's huge losses.

The gaming unit lost $45 million during the past quarter, that's not exactly a huge loss.

Anyway, they lost $45m and about $150m the quarter before. PSV launch marketing was said to be $50m or so, but I would need to check if that was for America alone or America and Europe combined. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow.

It's most logical to conclude that Vita is causing the negative profit. If that's unacceptable, maybe blame on TLG?
