Does sony manufacture all its units in japan, what bout china, malaysia, Taiwan? Those countries has lower labor costs, factory costs. So I m not sure If i buy the whole "strong yen" theory. It does affect their profits, no doubt.

I think they're made in China or Taiwan, with the components probably paid for in Yen and dollars.

The bigger problem is that the Euro went down against both of those, and there isn't really a way to escape that since the Euro is usually not used to buy components (Nintendo suffered from the same problem).
