I disagree. I doubt these things will make much money. The PS4 is certainly doing very well for them though.
All the real money is in smartphones, and after the Xperia Z, Sony hasn't released any big popular phone. Even the Xperia Z's sales had fallen after Samsung and HTC released their own flagship smartphones.

I think they on the right track with the Xperia Z...its definitely done wonders for the brand. Before the Z Sony didnt really have a smartphone that competed well against the flagship phones from Samsung, Apple, HTC, and LG.

Read any article or watch any youtube video about the best smartphones of 2013 or top 10 smartphones etc. and you will see that the Z is right up there in most of them. Thats a massive difference compared to 2 years ago.

You are right. This has been a very good achievement by Hirai. 

The Xperia Z was quite succesful for Sony and the waterproof gimick made the phone very succesful. 

Waterproof has nothing to do with it..it is one of the best phones of the market.
