This is why the 50 $/€ cut was a bad move. Almost 400 million $ lost in revenue and profit, when Sony needs it most.

They are really losing money (keep in mind that Nintendo actually profited this Q3, they do expect though to lose again considerably Q4). Also, in before "but Sony are doing well in the gaming division", see article (6) below:

I talking about losses due to exchange-rate/appreciating yen. I am assuming they just report all their foreign earnings in yen (they don't physically convert it, or most of it) and it just looks like a bigger mess than it really is.

They're going to have to do the same 'strategic' move in September this year again to face WIiU, Possible $99 Wii but most certaintly a cheaper 360.
But then they didn't have anything to spur on growth like MS has with Kinect so I guess it was their last option. I don't get this need for companies to be shipping a certaint level of products, when you're in this sttae surely profitability should be your sole focus on every decision?!

4 quarters in a year - no idea what calculations you were up to with that.

Maybe - sales obviously wouldn't have been as high, who knows how horrid the numbers without a price could have been.
2.8b loss for the year is ... scary. Kowen do you know the full breakdown of what Sony has left cash wise now?
Their cash was at 7.58b before this Q.
They need to ditch their TV division fast.
With these losses and a further 800m loss next Q do they run the risk of being downgraded further?
So Sony was lying again about their numbers, this time saying they are on track to reach 15m forecast for 2011...
