Their lucky the PS4 is doing well.

PS4 holds little weight in Sony general well being (as PS3 held little weight on Sony loss in general).

Wonder if they'd consider spinning off the Computer Entertainment division . . .

Well, the first thing that will go is the division that is losing Sony the most money, in which it'll be its TV division since it's still technically owned by the company. Smartphones will be next. SCE won't be spun off because it's doing well financially.

No one blame Vita for this? WOW.

I kid...

Hope they keep their mobile division cause Xperia phones are usually great, only have to adjust the price and start to do yearly launch of the entire line up instead of all this spread announcements and launch dates and 2 flagships per year witch are unnecessary imo.

No... that had a lot of weight. 6$ billion is not a small amount.

I'd be more concerned with the revised operating profit for Fy15 now becoming an operating loss. At least while Sony has positive cashflow they remain solvent. This is the first year in ages they haven't paid a dividend and the projected operating loss is seems to be the real the reason for this. In some ways it's like Sony is using whatvlooks likens big scary number, which isn't really scary, to draw attention away from the smaller but scarier operating loss.

Accounting write downs are quite handy as a tax dodge esp when you have operating profits. But when you have to use cash reserves, or borrow, to pay the bills because you have negative cash flow that's almost always bad.

How profitable is SCE at the moment? I mean, I know the PS4 is doing well, but you have to factor in PSV, too. I had a bit of a look, and apparently the forecast (from July, not the updated one now) has "Game & Network Services", which apparently contains SCE, is at 25 billion yen, or about $230 million. For comparison, their camera division was forecast with 38 billion yen, their "Devices" division (looks like it has sensors, power supplies, etc) with 51 billion yen, their Pictures division (movies, TV shows, etc) with 65 billion yen, their Music division with 48 billion yen, and their Financial Services division (apparently there's a Sony Bank, Sony Life Insurance, etc) with a whopping 164 billion yen.

And their 2013-2014 result was a loss to the Game & Network Services division, despite the huge launch of the PS4.

So I don't think we can honestly say that SCE is doing exceptionally well, financially (at least, not its entire division - I'm assuming that there's more than just SCE within Game & Network Services). Obviously, without more information, we can't be certain, but it doesn't look like SCE is a particularly profitable division.

Its already a

Subsidiary of Sony, Already its a LLC, but its stock is 100% owned , no public Offering of stock! Will be issued, and SCEj has first right of purchase of Stock if its offered! Thus its not for Sale!

Just because something is true or a fact, it doesnt mean it's any less anti-x company. People can hide behind facts all they want but most of us can see the patterns in one's posts. Don't you think there is a reason certain users tend to discuss aspects of their favourite company in which it is doing well and choose to ignore other topics?

Think of it this way. Pezus decides to start a crusade against MS and makes thread after thread about their failures. Xbone doing bad, surface failing to do well despite its massive advertising budget, windows 8 being hated by the average user, their phones unable to compete with Sumsung and Apple, etc. Would all these things be facts? Sure. Would there be a reason he chooses to talk about these facts instead of MS's departments in which it's doing well? Yes. Same with Sony. Just because someone is stating a fact, it doesn't mean there is no malicious intent.
