There are going to be charges which are going to effect earnings (1 billion dollars for the TV venture with Samsung) those will be factored out. Overall I think this is going to be a pretty terrible quarter broken down by the following:

Sony Music -- Music digital sales were up this year so Sony may benefit a little
Sony Picutres -- No real blockbusters by any of the sony studios
TV Syndication -- Still pretty strong
TV -- abysmal
Ericsson joint venture -- abysmal
Viao -- no real upgrade cycle until at least windows 8 so might be marginal at best
Sony Computer Entertainment -- Pretty decent, smartest thing Sony did was not to give an estimate on vita sales.

quarter should be profitable since its holiday driven but strong yen will eat into that
