I was checking this around two years ago. It seems that exchange rates which benefits Nintendo profits makes a problem to Sony profits. At Nintendo's overall profit is usually higher then operating profit. At Sonys - overall profit is usually lower then operating profit. I read an explanation that a lot of nintendo costs are still in Japan, so current exchange rates benefits it. And Sony was 'smart' 10-15 years ago and get its costs out of Japan. Which in current sitiuation of exchange rates makes it worse to them. |
It's a bit of both, they have a lot of cost outside of Japan but also a lot of revenue, the strong Euro compared to the Yen should definitely help them more though, at least with gaming.
