NewGuy on 17 September 2014

As expected, stock dropped 8% today.

Sony needs to right the ship pronto. People are tired of waiting.

You can also look at this loss as an investment. An investment into going bankrupt. 

Still better than Microsoft deal

At least it is 500M cheaper... and while MS blow the 2,5B in a game company and the 2B loss of Sony isn't related to game... on the gaming balance sheet Sony had a better deal =]... and I'm just joking as you were.

For what reason? What's killing them?

what division do they do well in besides gaming now? The rest seem to be all bad or doing "okay"

Sony just doesn't know how to make money, and the ps4 can't save the entire company from going broke.

Insurance, cameras, movie/entertainment, music, and of course, Playstation are doing well. Their smartphone division is what's killing Sony like how PC and TV used to kill them before they got sold out/spun off.

This time, smartphones. Sony seems to have this running gag where they have that one division that loses them a lot of money.

Funniest response from the thread:

I thought their smartphone division was doing good actually. All of the sudden this year they have massive losses, lol.

The gaming division really isn't doing that great either. It's just treading water.

The insurance division is the only division at Sony that's performing good/great.
