Here's the profits/losses of all divisions for the year, (ordered by profit).

Financial Services : $1.48 Billion
Game & Network Services : $1.21 Billion
Music : $677 Million
Home Entertainment & Sound : $522 Million
Imaging Products & Solutions : $422 Million
Semiconductors : -$70 Million
Mobile Communications : -$91 Million
Components : -$540 Million
Pictures : -$719 Million

Not bad besides pictures and components division.  How the heck are they losing money on movies?  I thought most studios could turn out a shit movies and still make profit. 

The Sony Pictures loss was actually due to a $962 milloon impairment charge this year. It would have been profitable otherwise.
