Sal.Paradise said: Yeh I'm clear on the financial years, but now that Japanese file that was "found on a National Printing Bureau" website" seems like a bunch of bullshit, or mistranslated at least. It sounded crazy to me at the time that they'd go straight from their first year of profit to a massive loss with just the ps3/psp on the market, but I wasn't going to question it because Sony always seems to be doing badly around here. I guess you have to dig really deep to get some positive news for Sony around these parts. |
Yeah, it's weird to look back and think people were so convinced by it actually. To go from $400 million profit to $1.2 billion loss in a year was quite ridiculous to think, even with the natural disasters which really hurt production.
Anyway, I just checked GAF and the financials thread pretty much confirmed everything I'd been trying to work out for the past hour or so, lol. $375 million profit for the past year. Which is pretty impressive now considering the disasters last year.
I mean, it's still not great that Sony as a whole is hemorrhaging money with no end in sight, but honestly the sector I care most about is SCE and to know that they seem to have finally got a handle on things and are stabalising is really, really nice to hear.
