Like I said, it is one of the best performing segments, and I think it'll probably become the best performing segment (in fact Sony forecasts that for FY17), but it's not the only money maker. Their forecast for FY17 has Gaming at 180 Bn yen operating income, with the whole company at 500 Bn yen. And even then, that is misleading, because they are forecasting one segment (corporate and elimination, which I guess is basically management, accounting, legal fees and loads of other stuff) to lose 200 Bn, and the other segments making 700 Bn, giving a net result of 500 Bn. So of those 700 Bn in positive operating income, Playstation contributes 180 Bn, or about 25%.

I will refer you to Videogameaccountant's post directly above this one as it is much better researched and eloquent than I could possibly offer as a response.

His post basically repeats what I've been writing here anyway. Gaming is very important to Sony, but it's not the only important segment, unlike what Wyrdness claimed.
