I missed the smallprint it seems - I was under the impression that Sony BMG merger hadn't been reflected yet in that statement for some reason
"Sony periodically reviews the presentation of its financial information to ensure that it is consistent with the way management views its consolidated operations. Since Sony considers
Sony Ericsson, S-LCD and SONY BMG (which together constitute a majority of Sony’s equity investments) to be integral to Sony’s operations, Sony determined the most appropriate
method to report equity in net income or loss of all affiliated companies was as a component of operating income, effective from Q1 FY08. In connection with this reclassification,
operating income and income before income taxes for all prior periods have been reclassified."
Also my point about growth in the gaming segment still stands (for now)
