Sony is also reducing it's Cash reserves this quarter, just like Nintendo did some years ago but for some different reasons.  

In March Sony had $9.3B USD(1,046,466M yen) in Cash deposits and this quarter it's been reduced to $5.4B USD (610,509M yen).

Does that mean that Sony just lost $3.9 Billion USD of their Cash?  

Not necessarily since they relocated parts of that money into other asset groups.

For reference Nintendo has $4.2B USD (474,297M yen) in Cash deposits and I think that is more than enough for a company it's size.

Though I agree in that we might ask if the $5.4B USD (610,509M yen) in Cash that Sony has is enough for a company of greater size and need of liquidity.

While I agree that the yearly profit is the definitife thing, and I appreciate the data you provided in some of your sucessive posts to back your statements, I don't agree about quarterly or 6 monthly results being meaningless, as you need at least one of them profitable to arrive to a profitable year, and each profitable quarter you add makes the goal closer. Obviously the same applies to losing quarters, each one makes a profitable full year more difficult, but this to say that quarterly results aren't meaningless, mathematically speaking each one is necessary, but none is sufficient by itself.

Yayy! Even at the worst of times when the wiiU is doing pooly and the 3ds sales are low, they still manage to squeeze out some profit! I am hoping it will continue throughout the holidays in their Q3 and Q4 report
