It's sad because that the time I will have to be up to get the docs in the Sony site... for me (here in Brazil) it's 4:00am.



8 Million PS3 shipped says hello....



If the shipment figure from IDC is proven false then can we trust them as a source for other things like the article manbearpig linked earlier?

I'm pretty sure they were profitable overall for 2012.
If not pretty close to it.



Neither Sharp nor Panasonic were able to right the ship this past quarter as the improving yen helped but didn't resolve the margin issues these companies faced. Sony in comparison has domestic financial services as well as non manufacturing income from overseas, so here's hoping Sony turned on a dime and somehow gave themselves a little more financial breathing room.

Despite the rising stock market, headline improvements in housing, auto sales, etc in the U.S., 4th qtr GDP was actually a decline. When your gun just emptied its barrels and the zombi is still up and about, it's not exactly time to celebrate your shots all hit their targets. The lack of election urgency to flex fiscal muscle might lead to a much softer 1st quarter than anyone had expected. We have to remember the Japanese were stubborn and perhaps stupid enough to have held on to a strong yen but their number competitor Korea never did. Yen falling will do nothing against Korean onslaught if Won falls just the same. Red sea, bloodbath, and just when it's time to celebrate PS4, Nextbox is coming too. Yippy Ki Yay.

?  what do you mean?

If you count all loses and profits for the year 2012 of the gaming division it should be at least +/- $0
maybe I'm too optimistic, but should be doable ?
