The gaming devision experienced the biggest losses with a whopping operating income drop of 97%
while sales decreased by 32.2% compared to last year.

From your link:

Operating Income:

Electronics division
Q3FY07 = 200.6
Q3FY08 = -15.9  (decrease of 216.5 bln yen)

Game Division
Q3FY07 = 12.9
Q3FY08 = 0.4  (decrease of 12.5 bln yen or -97%)

While it is true that the gaming division is not doing great, it did make a profit last quarter.  The  decrease in operating income from the Electronics division was 17x larger than that of the game division.  Blaming the PS3 as the primary cause of Sony's woes is misleading.  Samsung/Visio are hurting Sony's bottom line much more than Nintendo/Microsoft are.
