Its because of a $7.6 billion dollar writedown in the nokia division though so it doesn't really matter... lol.

Still, revenue was down 5.1% which is why the stock price fell.

Sony is up 1.25% and is experiencing revenue growth YoY (they are also profitable). 

 

Just want to challenge the popular notion on here that Sony is constantly bleeding red ink and MSFT is invincible. You never know lol. 

 

Why challenge it? It's a popular notion because it's more true than not. The Xbox has operated from day one with a blank check; had they been a smaller company they'd likely not be here now.

Hopefully Sony will continue to rebound (slightly), but I wouldn't rush out to getting the confetti just yet :p

Right, i agree. But i still see people on here like "Sony need to sell their tv division!!11!" when it is profitable and creates a huge about of revenue

Tables can turn easier than you think :p
