Can I just re-iterate what was said VERY recently by the Sony Financial officer... it really renders the whole thing mute.  Its up in the air.  They havent factored in the collapsing Euro so their end results will be hit if things stay as they are... as they look likely to.

from a recent Reuters report (mid may 2010)

"If the Greek crisis spreads and the European economy stalls, that would have a big impact," Sony Chief Financial Officer Nobuyuki Oneda told a news conference.

 

"If you ask me if Greece's problems are included in our operating profit forecast, the answer, regrettably, would be 'hardly'. It surfaced as a big problem just a few weeks ago."

remember this is the SONY Chief Financial Officer speaking.... is he lying and a hater too?

yes they haven't factored the collapse of the Euro but they were already making profit and making more on RSX 40nm.Also SONY has bigger profit margins in their European profucts as prices are high.

i am not saying that it won't effect it but you are talking all those margins would just get erased just like that.

IF YOU REALLY THINK SO THEN why not tell me what you think is the price that will affect their margin,by how much????

where did hater come from????????????????????????????????????????????

When you lose >15% in currency exchange, in less than two months, you have problems... Do you really think the profit margin on PS3 is more than a 15%? You have to add that VAT is increasing in several countries, and Sony is losing that margin, too. In Spain 2%, in UK 2.5%... All that is less margin in Europe, it's most profitable market, so if PS3 isn't a 20% cheaper to manufacture than 3 months ago, they have reduced margins/higher losses now than 3 months ago.

 

Please, think a bit before posting. It seems that you only post wishful thinking, without proofs.
