there's a few things i feel like i need to point out, not particularly aimed at 1 person
1. Up until this fiscal year the financials Sony had Playstation on its own, not with vaio and walkman.
2. Last quarter Sony said Walkman was doing well, and vaio was not. Now they are saying Vaio has gotten worse, didn't say much about Walkman. Walkman is still really popular in japan.
3. Before the exchange rate went to crap Sony had already lost nearly 3 billion.
Sony didn't expect the exchange rate to go to that badly, but you can't run a business that will nearly collapse due when something you have no control over doesn't go your way. However, even if the exchange rate stayed how it was they would have been really lucky to break even for the gen. Things could have been better without the bad exchange rate, but they still would not have been good.
