Good night guys... I will come back in 3 hours after my nap.



Around the Network

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and predict a SMALL profit. UNLESS they include the Gaikai purchase. Then it's a loss.



I can't go sleep because I found that.

"Sony Corp is likely to say it returned to an operating profit for July-September after it sold a chemicals business, but investors still aren't sure a consumer electronics revamp will deliver the profit growth the group seeks.

The maker of Bravia TVs, Vaio laptops and PlayStation game consoles, battling weak demand and tough competition, is expected to say it earned operating profit of 33.8 billion yen ($424.7 million) in its second quarter, after losing 1.6 billion yen a year ago, according to an average estimate from five analysts on Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S."

That's a estimate and seems fine.

One time gain transaction of 700 million from its chemical business. If you substract that, Sony would of posted a 276 million loss this quarter but a profit is a profit nonetheless.

Well I can't say that's great but I can't say that's bad too.

Profit after billion loss is a good sigh, no?

No. For now is just speculation and the investors are unsure.



On a side note, Square Enix also reported that they will post a loss this quarter. Sales of Sleeping Dogs were disappointing to say the least and expect a 30 million loss :( It seems like Japanese companies are having trouble, Nintendo, Sony, Sega, Square Enix... The only exception right now is Capcom who posted record profits this quarter... damn DLC.
