I guess then the question becomes how much of it is from the gaming division.

In Q1, the gaming division made 5.4 billion yen, in Q2 it lost 39.5 billion yen... For this quarter I would expect at least 20 billion yen in losses, for the next one I have no idea since it depends a lot on the Yen's strength.

 

You think so?  They reported that 39.5 billion yen loss at an exchange rate of 105 yen to the dollar, now it is much lower than that.  Holiday quarters are usually better because of higher PS2/PSP/software sales but i dunno if it can offset it that much.

 

20 billion yen is on the safe side... I wouldn't be surprised if it was two times that, it's much harder to predict individual divisions.
