What did MS lose?! They didn't throw this money into a river, they bought Mojang and you can be sure that there is already income from Minecraft flowing to MS. Of course this won't compensate 2,5 billion dollares at all but still they didn't lose anything.

Even funnier I think MS would be happy if Sony's android sales increase as they get a lot of money through android smartphones:

2bn... That's quite the money Sony is going to be losing...

Most of it is being written off. 

 

What do you mean by this? Where did you get the info from?

Hmm, is he legit? Believing stuff posted from members without any background should be a lesson we all should've learned already.

" The company blamed the drastic downturn on poor smartphone sales and said that it will take a $1.76 billion impairment charge against the phones division in the second quarter. "

I was asking about the meaning of impairment charge and this is the answer. It is not Sony losing actual money, it is about the value of future cash.

Perhaps I am not that good in financials but really: these 2bn $ go to somewhere? They don't just disappear if you name them different?

You know, they bought another company, an investment.

And how is that related to the topic ?
