Question about Sony and the recession.

[NJ5]

Sony's cash cow is currently the electronics division (and I use the term cash cow loosely as their profit margins are very thin).

Consumer electronics sales are not doing good during this holiday season due to the recession:

The entertainment industry is not that big for Sony, not on a consistent basis at least. They have some movie hits, and the situation could improve there (or not, as movie tickets are more expensive than in previous recessions, and now there's games to compete with).

PS: Then there's what Spankey just said, which is hurting them a lot now (along with most other Japanese exporters).
