We all know the huge loss that Mobile took last quarter for Sony, and that's unsustainable. But there is overall strategic worth being in the mobile market I think. So if Sony can work mobile into a position of only making small losses so as to never negate the profitability of all the other divisions do you think it's a sustainable long term strategy?
In other words, are there good reasons to be in mobile phones (tablets perhaps not so much) other than just profits that justifies an inability to make a profit on mobile phones?
Perhaps in the very long term focussing for now on product development and market share in smartphones rather than profitability will eventually lead to modest profitability.
