IIRC best revenue would be movies or music (Edit : actually mobile and games have the best revenue. My bad. Pictures revenue was pretty low in 2k14, still great profit. Music is the smallest division it seems. It's weird because they are the second biggest music publisher WW.). Profit is obviously financials (life insurance $$$$$), but devices division do extremely well in general too. PS is a vital part of Sony's operation as one of the centre of its cross-marketing operations (Sony is known for its excellent cross-marketing) but it's only one of it's many "good" divisions, even though a lot of these strived during the japan economic crisis.

Yeah, maybe I should really be tracking multiple companies. It's really something to be force-fed hardware and software shipments, forms bad habits.
I assume devices are the Xperia lineup? Isn't that doing rather poorly in comparison with the rest of the market and underperforming relative to forecasts? They did mention something about slimming the lineup.
So, games are PS or at least work with them, right? If so, I'm partially right.

Xperia is mobile (doing bad) and PS has strong revenue but really has been striving during ps3 gen (5 years straight loss IIRC).
Devices is parts and microchips (mostly batteries used in every possible phones from their "competitors", fun fact their imagery products are also found in ever other companies phones and tablets too) they sell to other companies. It's doing constantly well.

I completely forgot that Sony makes fantastic mobile image sensors. Blame Nokia Devices & Services for my confusion there (though I really shouldn't be confused; though isn't Samsung eating Sony's lunch when it comes to parts?)
And, you probably mean struggling, not striving.
And, yeah, I read mobile first, too, so I'm wondering how I got the two mixed up. It's going to be weird seeing Nintendo produce games for Sony hardware soon, though (Xperia phones), though as usual, there isn't any sign of Windows (Phone) support, so Microsoft is left high and dry.
