Well there are at least 4 divisions in Sony that can be called "eletronics"... using the last report (Q3 FY2012) I guess that:

IP&S (cameras): profit
Games (PlayStation): profit
MP&C (phones): loss (or maybe profit due the strong Xperia sales)
HE&S (tv, home theather, sound, etc): loss for sure
Devices (semicondutors, components, etc): loss

That what I can guess.

Holy hell, so Sony managed to lose nigh 7 billion dollars on the PS3? And geez, look at that trend.

PS1 - 3.13 billion profit

PS2 - 2.20 billion profit

PS3 - 6.89 billion dollar loss

If Sony doesn't get their act together, PS4 could be the 4th in what is already a diminishing return turned loss.

They can't be stopped...
