My comments:
Pro:
+ they made a profit in this qrt!
+ no drop in forecast for hardware or softrware for the FY
+ PSP looking very profitable for them
Neg:
- they didn't make much profit
- overall profit for Sony dropped significantly
- they had three "mega" titles impact last qrt (GTA, MGS & GT) - won't happen again soon
- any benefit from PS3 or PSP seems to be offset by less sales in PS2
- general weakness in US is impacting all sections of Sony
Still can't believe they shipped less PS2 software than PS3. Then again - around 9m-10m of PS3 was MGS + GTA.
...
To put the $50m profit into focus: Sony would have made $50m-$80m "profit" from MGS + GTA software alone.
Next qrt is going to be pretty challenging, before the big Xmas qrt.
