I don't know why people keep using this image. For one, it is using Operating Income for Sony and Microsoft, but Net Income for Nintendo. It hasn't been updated in years. That 2012 Sony number is from when they briefly rolled in things like TVs and PCs into a "Consumer Products & Services" division. The next year they broke "Game" back out and it showed a 29.3 billion yen profit for 2012 rather than the 229.8 billion yen loss. So, no, the PS brand isn't in the red. |
Here is a more up to date list of the numbers taken straight from Sony for the last ten years. I don't think the Fiscal Years are aligned properly on that above image chart for Sony (i.e. the 2011 number should be in the the 2010 place and so on), so that could be adding to the confusion. All numbers I took are for the Game divsion alone except for FY 2009 & FY 2010 where the NPS division (Networked Products and Services) includes PC and Other Networked businesses.
The sales and operating revenue for FY 2009 in the NPS division is split ~56% Game VS ~44% PC and Other Networked businesses.
The sales and operating revenue for FY 2010 in the NPS division is split ~53% Game VS ~47% PC and Other Networked businesses.
