A lot. They still make tablets, phones, t.v's, and cameras (even Apple uses Sony to mke Iphone cameras), headphones, earbuds, movies, music, and hospital equipment among a shit ton of other things. It really is amazing how a company as big and varried as Sony can struggle to stay profitable.

Thanks for the answer.

Maybe it's because it's so big and varied? I don't know lol.

I caught your edit; decided to refresh anyways : p

EDIT: omg stop editting lol

I don't want PS to go. The competition is great for the gaming industry. But this Sony losses keep worrying me. I hope these sales help them in the future.

I can agree with this, We need competition.

Mostly its the movies and TV portion that is making them have major losses (along with the earlier PS3 years).

I hope they dont sell their TV division, actually like their TVs D;.

Dont really care about their computer division though.

Edits! Edits everywhere!!

Ok my bad, So then its a "confirmation" of weakness.

Did anyone need a confirmation? You learnt nothing from the thousands of posts you've made here?

Sony fans positivity always swayed me back to believing Sony was all rosy.

So should "Sony" fans (I prefer Playstation fans but anyway) always mention that Sony as a company isn't doing so hot, when the're talking about the PS4 doing great or a game selling well, so you don't get confused? :D

A * or disclaimer would be nice :P

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

They are selling millions and millions of PCs and can't turn a profit?

I'm no expert but... I feel like Sony is doing something wrong.
