If profit is poor what the word used for loss?


Real underlying profit from your core business activities is good,  profits from just flogging buildings is poor

Losses are bad.

poor > bad or bad > poor??? What is the worst?

Aside from the Ps3/Ps2 shipment number, just about everything else is poor,

Underlying financials are still bad even after rationalisation and improving yen situation. Tv's make big losses still (is that nine straight years now?), and mobiles are a money sink at the moment.

Needs to dramatically improve.

How much do you think Sony shipped for PS3 and PS2?

I read that they are projecting a $500 million profit for 2013 due to a weakening yen, and smartphone sales so at least they will make an actual profit this year and not one heavily boosted by building sales.

The result are not good or bad (poor)... just show that they are in the right track like pezus said.

This shouldn't be taken too positively...remember that this profit was funded by the sale of two buildings (1.5 billion for the two?), and even then with the losses to make up for, only made 500 million. Hopefully next year Sony will be in a position where they wouldn't have to sell a building or two to make a corporate wide profit.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I didn't remeber very well but the building sales money was to be used to pay Gakai and others stuffs and not to make profit... I will find the plan.
