Probably because Ericsson has showed a major downward trend with no practical turnaround in sight. The Gaming division is operating at a loss but that loss has been consistently shrinking meaning they are still in an upward trend (at least until final Q3 numbers are released, preliminary data shows the yen inflation might hinder this). The gaming division will be kept around basically due to the upward trend and possible profitability next fiscal year. Sony Ericsson just flat missed the boat in the phone trend (along with most sony divisions with each of their industries). |
But they haven't been consistely improving (as I recall it, they were profitable in the previous holiday quarter but not in the following ones)... I guess if you look at it on a YoY basis you'd be right, but probably not anymore as soon as they post this holiday quarter's results.
Anyway, I'm not saying the gaming division will be canned. All I'm saying is that Sony Ericsson is not doing worse, so I don't understand why people are ready to burn it at the stake.
