Forums - Sony - Sony's Q2 FY2013 Earnings (PS3 2m / PSPVita 800k / ~$200m Loss)

So, the PS3 was at 80M (at least) as for the 30th of September? 20M more to go to end up first ^_^

Why are they putting psp+psv numbers together? PSV selling much better now. So both nintendo+sony lost 200mil but funny thing is next quarter both will make a HUGE Profit lol


Well, Despite the operating loss Nintendo did make a profit of about 60 millions. 



Can somebody tell me if 800k is sales for vita/psp?

And Sony made an operating profit but a net loss, so they really aren''t comparable results.

Maybe, though given that they released an all new PSVita model in its biggest market it is plausable that they would let stock levels of the old model wind down prior to its release, which would allow sales to be higher than shipments. If shipments are higher than sales in the next quarter then that would add merit to that possibility. 



Wut a loss? Didn't they project profits? And man that movie division. Loeb is gonna be glad



Game.

Sales
increased 5.1% year-on-year (a 14% decrease on a constant currency basis) to 155.7 billion yen (1,588million U.S. dollars) primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates. The decrease in sales on a constant currency basis was primarily due to a decrease in unit sales of PlayStation®2 (“PS2”), PlayStation®3 (“PS3”) and PSP® (PlayStation Portable) hardware, partially offset by increased PS3 software unit sales compared to the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.

Operating loss
of 0.8 billion yen (8 million U.S. dollars) was recorded, compared to operating income of 2.3 billion yen in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year. This year-on-year decline was primarily due to the impact of a strategic price reduction for the PlayStation®Vita (“PS Vita”) and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by the above-mentioned increase in software unit sales.



So whats going on? I can't be bothered trying to understand those reports lol
