Good for Sony. Not really too bothered about this tbh.

Why not, apple makes their own smatphones with their own OS, so why shouldnt sony do the same making a game centric smartphone like xperia play but with playstation eco system, going into their pockets.

Would you say they're heading in the right direction, to that end?  Or are they still not out of the woods?  And my memories a tad fuzzy, it's the end of the 2015/16 fiscal cycle when the whole restructuring process slides off the books, right?  Or did I get the dates wrong?

Cool, ty Sir.

Keep this boat going.

Good news.

Tbf it's not actually a bad idea, if they had an OS similar to the ps4 it would be a nice set up,the only thing that would hold it back slightly would be the lack of support for apps, but that comes with time, like the lumia phones they still have a lack of support in the app store but it is getting to ios and andriod lvl

It is a far fetched idea but a possible one non the less 

SNE dividends and yields are terrible, so unless you were going to sit around and track to flip, it would be a poor investment. You'd get better returns from investing GE or other similarly priced companies.

Also I'd be careful of a sell-off in the near term depending on what they do with the struggling mobile arm. If they start cutting forecasts you'll see a sell-off and drop in value, and then a pick-up once they sell the arm off. I wouldn't recommend investing in SNE at current unless you have clairvoyant superpowers.

good, because once a company starts appealing to investors first and consumers later it's only going down for them in the long run. want to make money with investing...? do it the hard way by predicting trends sooner than others do.

- and apple isnt nokia what is that for a logic? 

- sony has an eco system, vita can play every psp and ps1 game. It would easily transform into more than gaming if they would open it up to devolope apps bye veryone.

-i said they should sell their mobile department then make playstation phone with their vita devision. The vita sold 10 million units, that is a lot if it would be a smartphone model. A lot of japanese people game on their iphone, a closed system by apple. A playstation phone could take that marketshare back by sony who is a japanese company.
