MikeB said: Sony still generated a profit, HDTV sales and profits were up, some HDTV sales may be attributed to the PS3 which is an excellent HD gaming console as well as an excellent Blu-Ray player. I think Sony will be able to weather through the current economic crisis without really major problems this year. |
wow, someone hasn't been paying attention. Sony itself has already announced to have major problems, especially with the current Yen rate. There's a big chance that Sony as a whole will be in the red this Q and FY. SCE doesn't even stand a chance of being profitable over the whole year.
Besides: most HDTV's are being sold because they're flat and because the neighbours have one. Mainstream consumers don't have a clue what HD. Saying the PS3 contributes to HDTV sales is the world upside down.
