| Alby_da_Wolf said: Losses of Sony division that makes, amongst other things, PS3, aren't due to PS3 price cut, but to TVs losses and expensive acquisitions. |
No, that's patently false.
Per Sony's Q2 Financial report:
"...a decline in sales of the game business, reflecting a strategic price reduction of PlayStation®3 hardware in advance of the year-end holiday season..."
There were a number of things that contributed to that division's loss, number three on that list was a decline in revenue from the gaming business as a result of a strategic price reduction. Certainly #1 on that list were declining sales from the LCD TV division and declining sales from the PC division. But your statement is exceptionally false and inaccurate and flies in the face of Sony's statements to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
