anyone thinks that sony will have money for the ps4's is R&D with the ps3 not making real profit? i mean it will never make back is R&D and production cost. The ps3 erased the ps2 LTD profits so i wonder if they will have any money to develop the PS4, if there is a PS4?

It depends... Sony will have money for some things but not for others. They'll have to choose... Should they keep their phone and music business or not? Should they have so many TV models or not? Should they be in the gaming market or not?

Hard decisions are coming, but I won't pretend to know the outcome.

 

 

how the hell do u know all that? ur talking jibberish

Because the loss of revenue due to exchange rates (around 15-20%) is much larger than their profit margins. I'd be surprised if Sony's losses were less than $1.5 billion in this quarter, and I'd say "wow" if they manage to lose less than a billion. Only some massive hedging could do that, and nothing I've seen points in that direction.

I have posted the calculations elsewhere but it's getting tiring so I won't do it again. Just wait two months for the financial report.
