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. |
No. They had a massive loss due to a downwrite in goodwill of their mobile division. If that writedown hadn't occured, then the mobile division would've broken even or lost/earned a tiny bit of money. Besides mobile (which I have explained was a one time thing only) the only division that lost money was movies, and it was a rather insignificant loss. Sony's gaming division was profitable.
