Sony Corp profit/loss history:
1997: Profit 1998: Profit 1999: Profit 2000: Profit 2001: Profit 2002: Profit 2003: Profit 2004: Profit 2005: Profit 2006: Profit 2007: Profit 2008: Profit (record profits) 2009: Loss 2010: Loss So its actually a relatively recent phenomenon and they had record profits as recently as 2008. Thankfully, Sony, unlike their "fans", realise that they need to do something different. They are cutting deep, restructuring and trying a different way. They understand that a lot of their business practices and models no longer work. |
I highly doubt any fan would disagree that they need to do something different. However, the last couple years that has nothing to do with the PS3, something this website focusses on. It's mainly their lower LCD TV and laptop sales, coupled with a horrible exchange rate for the dollar and euro against the yen, that is the reason for the losses.
