PS4 is saving Sony.

Also it's time for a new line of phones. It's time to leave the Xperia brand and create something brand new. I love Xperia phones but it's time for a change. They need to bring something new on the table.

 

Or just drop out of the phone market completely. Aren't there enough phone companies as it is? Plus, when is the last time Sony made a phone that people were going crazy to own?

 

If you see that, you see that the only reason Mobile has a loss this year is because of the FX impact. If the exchange rates had been the same as last year, Mobile would have had a decent profit so far this Fiscal Year (though of course some of it would dissappear in the notriously unprofitable Q4).

In any case, the cost of exiting the mobile business (yeah, there are costs related to selling of assets/businesses as well...) would be much higher than what they are set to lose in mobile over the next few years, and most likely mobile will be at ~breakeven in a year or two.
