i just wonder why there are people saying something like "ps3 shipped less than last year" and then few posts later "why do you talk about financials of last year, last year is the past, we should talk about this year"

so people use sales numbers of last year and then say someone else he shouldn't use numbers of last year?

yes these numbers are from last year but we never knew how the gaming devision did and now we know it. why this is interesting? i don't know but i read like 20 times the last months that we don't really know how sony gaming devision is doing financially and now we know it at least for last financial year. this could be as example used for that table someone had with the financials of nintendo, sony gaming devision and microsofts gaming devision since they sell consoles with the overall loss/profit.

many many users here used that to show how close sony is to a profit of almost 0 since they are in the gamning branch so where is the problem to get new numbers for taht we didn#t knew before?

Okay, can anyone please explain some stuff to me since I'm really pretty new to this whole financials/financial year thing, and I'm having trouble getting my head around it all.

Basically, if Turkish's figures are correct (I'm assuming they are)  - does that mean that this: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=144920&page= whole kerfuffle from about a month ago was way off?

Also, does this mean that SCE have posted 2 straight years of profits now (based on this: http://i.imgur.com/zYw1A.jpg since the 2011 data is incomplete), or am I missing something?

Thanks.

29,302 million yen = 29.3 billion yen

thats a comma ??  idk pez...looks like a decimal to me

Some people just can't stand that Sony is making money from its gaming division, it shows from their irrelevant talks. 'Last year, this year'... WTH?

@Turkish, please keep the news coming and ignore those irrelevant comments. I don't mind if you are a Sony fan. There are Microsoft and Nintendo fans out there posting all the things they like, they are not blamed. Sony is the target nowadays. They just can't stand any good news about it.

The resolution is so low that one might actually be a comma and the other a dot, but it's certainly possible both are dots.
