This might be the last quarter of profits for SCE before PS4 releases. I'm not expecting profits for quarters 2, 3 and 4 due to the production of PS4.

Well PS4 don't have the massive $300 loss per console like PS3... I think they are selling the PS4 with little to no loss.


Sony will have to make PS4 in the next quarters without selling until launch.  That will generate losses even if they are temporary, won't it ?

Maybe he feels the losses will be low enough that PS3 profits will cover them.

its not loss per unit he is talking about. he means production, lets say every ps3 takes 300$ to make. next quarter they will make lets say produce 3M units, that will cost them 900M, they wont make any money back on them due to sony waiting on launch for them selling it, so its a temporary loss.

Using existing cash to build inventory doesnt create a loss on a P&L.

Considering Sony's current situation, Are we sure they have this money ?

Do they have cash reserves ?

Game Division History

Wow its strange that profits in 2013 were so low. I guess the Vita is dragging down the profits. Is it possible to say that without the Vita, the PS3 would probably be making close to $1 bn a year?

Looks like this will be the second most important thing to happen on that day. My body is ready.

Prediction: Sony made a loss, or maybe a slight profit because of TLoU.

Are you saying the Sony Games Division made a loss or the whole Sony?

Sony as a whole probably has. But I was meaning the Games division. Slight loss or slight profit this quarter, then profit for the remaining 3.
