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.


Samsung is serving Sony their lunch when it comes to parts. They use Sony image sensors (camera) in their phones. As does Apple. And image sensors are by far the biggest part of Sony's devices segment.
