52-Week High/Low is the highest and lowest prices that a stock has traded at during the previous year. Many traders and investors view the 52-week high or low as an important factor in determining a stock’s current value and predicting future price movement.

As a stock trades within its 52-week price range (the range that exists between the 52-week low and the 52-week high), investors may show increased interest as price nears either the high or the low. A popular strategy used by stock traders is to buy when price exceeds its 52-week high, or to sell when price falls below its 52-week low. The rationale behind this strategy is that if price breaks out from the 52-week range (either above or below) there will be enough momentum to continue the price move in a favorable direction. Alternatively, another strategy is to sell when price reaches its 52-week high on the assumption that price will recede, or to buy when price reaches its 52-week low in anticipation of a value play. Traders and investors typically conduct additional technical and/or fundamental analysis for confirmation.

Ya gotta love that Playstation. And tvs. Ya gotta love their tvs, too.

Both Sony and Nintendo Stocks are rebounding nicely. I don't pay attention to other gaming stocks sadly, so I have no idea if organizations like EA, Activision, Ubisoft and etc are doing. 

Positive Sony financial news; that's not common these days, good and welcome news! With MS doing splendidly and Nintendo getting back on track; we're set for another cycle of gaming!

Its commom for all japanese companies now because of the devaluation of the yen, same story for europe

Good news for gamers. The financial well-being of the Big Three ensures that we can keep doing what we love for another generation, at least.

You don't hear this often.

Honestly shouldn't have sold when I did. Would damn near have triple than what I invested d:

Good to hear! Look, When it comes to games you can be a fan or even a fanboy of either of the big 3 companies. But i think it's sad when people become excited at the thought of one of the companies failing. I think people's jobs and livelihoods should trump video games in general.

I hope it keeps going up for Sony.
