I have agree with you, xwan.
Sony posted a profit for the first time in 4 years a couple weeks ago, it can only go up from here. (This profit was mainly from the huge success of the Xperia Z selling 5 million units in 40 days, but hey, that's for another time :P)
I strongly believe that Sony deserves to start making a healthy profit from here on out, and they deserve to get some impressie sales across the board in terms of gaming, and other hardware. Why do they deserve it? Because they've worked so incredibly hard over the past 15 years to bring out the best of gaming, and they worked so hard (OK maybe a little bit too hard, and screwed up the architecture for normal developers, but their first party devs aren't normal, they possess superhuman powers) on the PS3, and now they're going to do it all again with the PS4.
If anyone deserves to stop making profit it's Microd*ck, but hey, that's also for another article, not going to start that here.
But yeah, Sony definitely need to start turning a healthy profit from here on out, and they can, it's just a matter of execution. It's looking up for them at the moment, what with all the indie dev support, exclusives, some neat features on the PS4, and God knows what they'll be revealing for the VITA at E3, it's just a matter of capturing the core gamers, and trust me Sony, we're all here still! Regardless of what the media say about the demise of console gaming, we're still here.
And no, they cannot be easily replaced by any other company, their work ethic and creative products are second the none. You just don't know how to appreciate decent tech, with superior engineering.
