YUSH go Sony :D                                                            

Soul Sacrifice actually had an effect.

Well great for Sony!!!!

Wow, that's great!
Why do articles keep mentioning the PS4's release as something good for Sony? It will just bring down the gaming divisions already small profits. 

5 percent is a boom?

In terms of stock yeah

Because unlike the PS3, the PS4 wont be sold at a loss and its R&D cost arent even in the same ball park.  Initial marketing will cost Sony, naturally; but since the PS4 is cheaper and easier to develop for than the PS3 - Sony will be making much greater profits from game sales.   This is just one of the reasons :)

Surprised Kowenicki didn't post about this. Can't wait for his educated thoughts (after all, he follows financials of Sony and MS pretty closely).

5% doesn't seem that impressive to me, but what do I know? At least it's positive news for a change.

Because how much a company makes it not the end all be all, sales are just important.  Look at apple, they are earning record profits but their stock is down 40% because of slowing sales and margins.  Sony is projecting an increase of some 7 billion dollars in sales for next year on the back of the PS4 and cell phones.

it helps with the yen dropping
