Someone do this math for me please. MS profit last fiscal year vs how long it would take Sony to generate the same profit based on their previous reportings.

In the last fiscal year Sony didn't have a profit, so it would never happen.

If you use the previous fiscal year (April 07 - March 08), they had $3.9 billion in net income, so it would take more than 3.5 years.

If you use the one before that, it would take even longer, more than 10.5 years.

 

I was basically wanting to know how many previous fiscal years it'd take Sony to match MS's profits from just last year alone. You would certainly take into account the loss year(s) for Sony.
