458 million profit is due to the building sales right?


Dude, you realise that Sony spent way more in acquisitions, right?


Which doesn't affect profits by even one cent.  You do know that right?  Actually, I know you don't know that.  I've read your comments in this thread and its clear you don't understand the difference between a balance sheet and a P&L.

The money spent on buying things is just an asset swap. The profit raised from selling buildings however IS profit for the P & L account.  Buying assets such as Gaikai doesn't reduce profits. 

Dude.

Well, yeah. I'm not some bookeeper. So, in the link below, where does the building sales come in (is it in Others)?:

If so, how come they have the same revenue from Others this fiscal year as they did the last?


Yes its in others, as for why its similar to last years you would have to look through last years statement to find out.  I would guess they sold off some fabrication plants  that year, I vaguely remember hearing about something like that.
