Easy. Sony gets loads of money (and profit) from non-PS businesses. Here's Sony's results per segment for the 12 months ending on march 30th:
As you can see, Sony had higher operating income from financial services (primarily life insurance), than gaming, and they also had sizeable profits from Music, Home Entertainment & Sound (TVs and speakers et.al) and Imaging Products and Solutions (cameras and lenses and stuff like that). The narrative that the only segment of Sony currently doing well is Playstation is quite wrong. It is one of the best performing, and in the future might become the best performing segment, but still not the only one making money. |
Thanks. It's only fair to provide supporting info when calling someone out for being wrong.
[Edit]
Although it should be noted that Game and Network has the highest positive percentage change from 2015 to 2016, and in terms of operating income, is not far behind Finance. The rest are way behind.
