I call BS on the numbers mainly because we are not in Q1 09 for sony yet nor do we have those numbers their years end in march so Q1 09 wouldnt be for a bit 

 

The numbers are correct (as far as I've seen), it's just that the year is off by 1 in Sony's case for comparison reasons (the fiscal years are counted differently between the companies). So when you see Q1 09 it's Q1 08.

There's some data missing there for the last quarter, when Sony lost about $400m in the gaming division. Of course the PS3 loss is bigger than that table shows, since it includes PS2 and PSP profits. Still, the PS3 loss is not $8-10 billion.
