The net impact of the strong dollar is negative for Sony because they have a lot of American Dollar denominated costs.
This is Sony's results from the last quarter they reported. As you can see, gaming's, home entertainment and sound's and especially mobile's operating income are hard hit from the Forex impact. While Devices sees a gain, and Imaging Products and Solutions also sees a miniscule gain, it's no where near enough to make it a net positive.
