Slight increase from its 200+ million profit from last quarter. 348 million in the black, by my prediction. 


You're predicting that profits will raise during the slowest quarter of the year in comparison to the biggest quarter of the year?

Sony will be ridiculously in the black, fueled by strong LCD sales

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120695513165876673.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

But poor performance in TV-set business has been dragging on the rest of the electronics unit. Sony has been unprofitable in televisions since it missed the industry's transition from traditional television sets to flat-screen models like liquid-crystal displays and plasma.

As demand for LCD sets has jumped industrywide, Sony, which procures LCD panels for its televisions mainly through a joint venture with Samsung Electronics Co., has regained market share with its popular Bravia-branded models. However, it has been unable to show consistent profits as prices have fallen sharply because of stiff competition. Last year, Sony made another strategic mistake when it didn't offer a lineup of fully digital televisions until the autumn, several months after its rivals.

The business posted a small operating profit of about 4 billion yen ($40.3 million) in the October-December quarter, but the company conceded in January that it wouldn't be profitable for the business year ended in March, as it had previously expected.

Televisions are Sony's largest electronics business, contributing 1.24 trillion yen in sales for the year ended March 31, 2007. Strengthening this business is also a matter of pride for Sony, which once dominated the field with its Trinitron cathode-ray-tube TV sets.

 

 



Sony's is normally last Thursday of the month, which falls on the 24th this time.



Alright. Thanks for answering my question BBK and Fishy.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

 Much like how I predicted profitability when everyone else was predicting huge losses last quarter.

so, Yes, I am.  Care to make a prediction of your own?

Nintendo will obviously be in the profit for this past quarter, as always. I think Sony gaming division will have small losses, and Microsoft gaming division will be about even for this quarter.



How much does each company make/lose per console?

My guess is Sony makes about 20-30 per PS2 sold, 20-30 per PSP sold (more on the bundle) and maybe lose about 30 per PS3 sold. That means Sony is in the black for the quarter but not enough to be in the black for the year.
Nintendo should make about 30 per Wii and about 20 per DS sold, in the black for the quarter and year as usual.
Microsoft is probably breaking even now with the price cut and all that, Microsoft in the black for the the quarter and the first time Microsoft will be in the black for the year.



@FilaBrasileiro: Very bad guess and taken out of nowhere, why do you expect DS to make less profit than PSP, are you serious?
