They actually didnt say what the profit was to my knowledge they literally just said "profitable".  No specific numbers were given for TV profits within the larger Home entertainment division that made a very small profit as a whole.

They sold 3.6m tv's last quarter and down rated their full year expectation from 15.5m to 14.5m TV's and again predicted "profit" for the full year without saying what it would be. 

Bit odd.

When you have a profit margin of about 3% (!!) in this divison you can be sure that the key is exchange rate fluctuations.    Pretty clear that the unbeliveably weak Euro will hurt the profit for the full year on TV's.  Wouldnt be surprised at an adjustment on the TV forecast, perhaps more units, less profit.  They should just ditch all TV/AV stuff and mobile, been saying it for years.

yeah i'm confused myself as to what is doing good and bad and by how much. hopefully the report sheds some light on it. 

I'm not confused at all.  They just dont tell us much about TV.  It could be a profit of a penny each quarter for all we know. 

 

So they expect 830bn yen revenue from TV's, from 14.5m units sold and to be "profitable" for th full FY '14.

They made $41m dollars operating income from TV's last quarter on $1.6bn revenue.... not great.

very risky with such a low profit margin. as you say it needs to go or be made far less of a risk.

I doubt 19m shipped, because XBO+PS4 < 30m and XBO~11m.

Maybe 18.8m.


So you expect only 300K PS4 in shelves worldwide? That would be a hell of a great planning to the consumer demand. 19M seems more realistic to me.

As i said, XBO IS at 11m shipped, and PS4+XBO<30m.

So i doubt 19m, Even because Sony have confirmed that in EU PS4 was almost sold out.

If Nintendo have 300,000 Wii U in magazine, Why not Sony?
