Forums - Sony - Sony Corp soared 11 percent - turn profitable in fiscal 2014

If they make good smartphones i think in 5-10 years Sony could be a real competitor to Samsung and apple



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Good for them! Hopefully the Xperia Z continues to sell well and becomes a 10 million+ sales phone.

I sure hope so. But I hope they also reach profitability this FY like they planned, especially with all this property selling.

Viva Kaz!!!!



I wish Sony well. But the company has about 1/50th of the smart phone market. Apple has almost 1/10th and Samsung almost 1/4.

Yet the phone faces stiff competition from already-established devices from Apple Inc and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd. Sony's share of mobile phone sales in the fourth quarter was 1.7 percent, compared with Samsung's 22.7 percent and Apple 9.2 percent, according to consultancy Gartner.

While this top-end model is selling "well" -- it may be quite relative.

It makes me wonder more about "analysts."

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Just to add the huge stock increase is not only about smartphones...

Sony's PlayStation 4 Plans Attributed to Huge Stock Increase

"The rating increase is widely attributed to Sony's plan to launch the PlayStation 4 at the end of 2013. Likewise, the company's newly launched Xperia Z smartphone has been the top-selling model in Japan for four straight weeks since its release."

PS4 is the huge factor here.
