so sony's mobile department is expected to make a profit this quarter? since last quarter there sales were 8.8 million and they need 10 million a quarter to make profit right? could the holidays help make the division profitable this quarter?

no by end of 2nd Quarter 2013 if their 10.2 million can be shipped for the 4th Quarter 2012 than by the end of 1st Quarter 2013 they will have had profit. they will not know yet because they are using about 60%production of units from china so they will not know until after 4th Quarter.

currently their really about 1 Sales Quarter from Profit as it stands right after the 3rd Quarter results.

so this quarter wont be profitable even if they sell over 10 million units?
