Just thought this data was very eye opening when comparing the last fiscal year. 18% profit margin is just unreal. Sony's goal for 2008 is to reach 5% profitability. For comparison, Apple is at 10% profitability.
I can't image how one sided this would look if you compared Sony's gaming division to Ninetendo.
