I'd like to know why some people want Sony Ericsson gone when it has consistently been more profitable than the gaming division. It's not profitable now, but I think the gaming division will lose even more money.

Anyway, Sony Ericsson has already announced a downsizing to save 500 million € a year, which is much more than SCE has done. I haven't seen anything from SCE as to how they'll be profitable.

 

 

Interesting fact (?) there, Sony Ericsson had made more money then the PSP, PS2 and PS1? I would love to see numbers, you always have numbers to back up your claims. I would hate for people to be pulling numbers out there ass though, makes me very sad when they do that. :(

I mean in the last few years. The PS1 is gone, it's history. The PS2 is declining faster than the PS3 is improving. The PSP is starting what seems like a decline.

Anyway, here are the last few quarters/years for Sony Ericsson:

(they were profitable in FY2005 too)

Now compare that with the multi billion € losses of the recent years at SCE.

because would you like to see Nintendo gone?

people have grown up with the Ps brand....I'd rather the SONY ericsson division take the cut instead of the PS division

I can't imagine gaming without Playstation.....I'd get over it if it went in a matter of weeks but still..I do not want to see it go.

also in the past Playstation saved SONY......they won't let it go

But Sony Ericsson being gone doesn't necessarily help the Playstation... If they're both posting losses, both of them have to take measures to be profitable. Sony Ericsson has already said how they plan to be profitable, SCE not so much.
