Can someone (good in economics) explain some things to me?

1) The strong currency you are referring too is the Yen. If it is high versus the dollar and Euro, then me paying Sony $400 actually gives them less than if the Yen is low versus the dollar and Euro.

that's what i don't understand. can you detail it to me?

If I (as Sony) know that every Yen = One Dollar (it doesnt, but as an example) then everytime a person pays $400 for a PS3, I (sony) get 400 Yen..

But if the Yen gets stronger (rises) and it becomes 1 Yen = 1.2 Dollars (as an example), the situation changes.  When a US consumer pays $400 for a PS3, now I (sony) only get less than 400 Yen.  Around 320 Yen I think.
