Good old IDC.
Anyway.
(Reuters) - Sony Corp (6758.T) posted a third-quarter operating profit after a loss a year ago, supported by lower costs and proceeds from asset sales that are helping it offset weak demand for its TVs and other devices.
In the three months to December 31, Sony posted a 46.4 billion yen (316.5 million pounds) operating profit, compared with a 91.7 billion yen loss a year ago. The result was below the average 72.1 billion yen profit estimated by six analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Following a 67 billion yen loss in the previous business year, Sony stuck to its full year operating profit forecast of 130 billion yen, compared with a consensus estimate of 119 billion yen of 19 analysts.

One would of thought they would of posted a profit with current exchange rates. 6 million profit on gaming division. What are your thoughts about this?
Nintendo 450 million net profit.

Well gaming division will have R&D for ps4 as well...Nintendo didn't have that issue for this quarter

Exactly. He'll probably ignore that, though. Q3, and possibly Q4, are still going to contain quite a bit of R&D for the PS4, especially with only 6 months or so to go til mass production. I'm actually stunned the profits from the PS3 and PSP (with some small profits from the Vita), were enough to keep that department in the black. Q4 will probably look even better for Sony overall, though, with the sale of some of their buildings and if the yen situation continues to improve.
Edit: Well, I guess he didn't ignore it, lol. Also, since ethomaz isn't in here saying it, too, I'll reiterate. The PS3 is probably undertrackedd by ~800K, maybe more.
