Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony's FY2012 Earnings: $458m Profit (FY); 3.4m PS3+PS2 (Q4); 1.3m PSV+PSP (Q4)

So if they post a profit this Q4 that's less than 2.34 billion that would be bad.

No... if they posted loss even with all these sales then that would be bad.

Withou these sales everybody expected loss.

SONY CORPORATION : Sony Doubles Full Year Profit Outlook

TOKYO--Japanese electronics firm Sony Corp. (6758.TO) said it doubled its profit outlook for the past business year ended in March, aided by a weaker yen, asset sales and a rebounding stock market that helped its life insurance business.

Sony said it now expects a net profit of Y40 billion ($400 million) for the past fiscal year versus a February estimate of Y20 billion. It also raised its operating profit outlook to Y230 billion from an earlier Y130 billion, while lifting its sales estimate to Y6.8 trillion from Y6.6 trillion.

The company is slated to announce its official earnings figures for the past fiscal year May 9.

Indeed, a nice turn of events as an investor.

Hopefully Sony managed to make some money so they can finally afford that Vita price cut.
The PS3 has been selling well and its still overpriced on my opinion, so im expecting them to have made some money this quarter.

Quite interesting that the console that we all pretty much say sony dominated (PS2) made sony less money than PS1.
did they sell those at a huge loss or? :S, or is this just hardware figures?

You can't accurately tell which made the most profit.

E.g. profits were still made through selling PS2s from 2006 onwards. 

E.g. the 2003 - 2005 figures most likely inclued R&D costs for the PS3.
