Ooo0ooohh..exciting! I didnt know about this.
I expect dismal results.
My prediction threads:
Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)
PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)
Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right
Tagging. Hoping for a good PS3 sales shipment > 2.0 but don't really think it's gonna happen.
Just 2m will mean only 500k PS3 on shelves. So must likely it should be closer to 3m.

I believe the word your looking for is: "fail".
Apperantly they have been extremely uncapable in predicting their own revenue/profit/loss stream.
They are doing terrible, but they are not beyond repair. The SONY brand name is still hugely powerful. The next few years will be vital...

Sony has been a year away from being profitable for the past 7 years... they're due.

it's not weird at all, they didn't expect the yen/euro situation which effected almost all companies in Japan and no one could foresee the tsunami, and the last revision was writing off the tax credit that they lost

I'm sorry, but that displays a worryingly bad handle on things.... |
Exactly, they just had to write a 4 billion tax credit off as a loss, the exchange rate improving is whats going to help them later, after the restructing is done, but they still have to post these losses
this isn't that hard for you kowen, c'mon man

Dont forget the massive flooding in Thailand where Sony, and lot of Japanese offshore manufacturing is located...which S&P noted when they downgraded....Not trying to make excuses for the bad numbers but you have some extreme one off events that happened in the last year for many Japanese companies which are not going to repeat themselves.
