I imagine margin will be better in the coming year. They most likely are done trying to do VITA related R&D (which did hurt them a bit) and don't have SOE costs anymore either. 

Congrats to PS4, practically 20mil since launch.

What countries are PSP still shipping to? My guess is Europe since its still pretty big over there...

So PS4 = XB1+360 am I right?

Most likely Europe and Expanded Market.

At the rate its going I doubt PS3 will sell 15 million units in the next few years. Its legs won't be as strong as PS2's since it took an incredible nosedive when its successor released. Sony knows this to be true.

It'd be nice if they kept us up to date like Microsodt did with the Xbox 360 sales in May.

Excellent news, and a great recovery. It is so nice to see such PS4 numbers, 2015 should be even better, with a constant stream of great games.

Yes:

Sony plans to shut down a facility in Oita Prefecture that makes system chips for the PlayStation 3 game console by the end of March 2016. Closure costs are seen as small and the facility's roughly 220 workers are expected to be transferred to Sony's image sensor plants or to other sites. Production of PlayStation components will be handled by another Sony chip-making facility.

The Xperia smartphone business continues to struggle; Sony is laying off an additional 1,100 workers by March 2016 having previously announced 1,000 cuts, meaning the division will shrink by around 30 percent in total. Sales were actually up slightly year-on-year with a small operating profit, but new mobile chief Hiroki Totoki is implementing a restructuring plan designed to streamline the smartphone strategy.

4K sets have boosted Sony’s TV business, meanwhile, helping it turn a profit for three straight months for the first time in over a decade. The gaming division continues to perform well, with strong PlayStation 4 sales and income from network services driving a 17 percent increase in revenue. Sales have also been helped across the board by a weaker yen.

The cyberattack itself, which authorities believe was orchestrated by North Korea, hasn’t made much impact on Sony’s bottom line. Sony is putting aside 15 million dollars (¥1.8 billion) in "investigation and remedial costs" connected to the hack and, despite a projected 11.7 percent decrease in revenue put down to fewer home entertainment releases and less box-office take, Sony Pictures still made a slim estimated operating profit of ¥2.4 billion ($20.4 million) for the quarter.

True. Of course, I'm also pretty sure that the PS3  is undertracked.  I'll have to go over numbers tomorrow, but im guessing it has to be pretty close to 90M shipped by now.
