And even still once you have general figures you can't compare both electronic departments since a ton of other business segments are included.

Laughable.

Then get the numbers for their electronics department and compare the right figures... Anyways, it is pretty obvious that Samsung is kicking Sony's ass in the electronic department.

Yes, right. The OP contains the exact opposite.

Samsung is doing better, yes, but how is it clear it's kicking Sony's ass when the consumer electronics departments of both companies is equal to or less than 50% of both businesses?
