This is huge - drop of almost 60%.
People have to remember that more than HALF the fiscal year was already finished - so its a huge downgrade in the remaining months (Nov-March) to affect profit by this much.
This also directly impacts on the PS3 - much less chance of "sooner" price cuts (sorry guys :P).
The stronger yen will no doubt impact Nintendo - but overall sales won't be affected that much. Not too sure about MS, but they are making enough money as it is.
Remember - this is primarily Sony's NON-GAMING divisions being affected - HD TVs and the like.
