shouldn't this be in off topic?

Besides I still don't know why the hell sony ericsson of all people are loosing money.

Haven't you been in VGC long enough to see threads about the companies in the forums? For example, this one in the MS forum?

Why they're losing money, probably has a lot to do with the recession and high competition from Apple. Sony Ericsson has much less market share than it used to.

What is your point with this topic? Trying to tell people that Sony is doomed and because of that they should not buy PS3 and PSP? That is the only thing i can think related to a video game sales site.

I browse financial websites and when I see related stuff I usually post it. The last one I remember doing was AMD. It's relevant for Sony, therefore it belongs here.

^ indeed, though sony ericsson its its own entity separete from ericsson or sony.

they have it own income and money.

 

They pay dividends to Sony and Ericsson when they make profits, and they get cash injections from both to keep them alive.
