The gaming business in that report is effectively breaking even (Small loss actually). They got their profit because of a favorable exchange rate environment. Both sony and nintendo are very sensitive to the usd/jpy rate. . Also nintendo won't be reporting earnings for q3 fy 2015 until jan 28 . Q3 fy 2015 isn't over for them until the end of the year. Their financial year starts April 1 . Sonys last statement reported massive losses . Even for gaming. Though at the start of a console cycle this seems fairly typical. |
Sony reported loses because of Mobile... no massive loses from consoles (even their first anual report with consoles weren't that bad), but their last quarter from what I remember was good.
