Who cares about this? As long as ps4 is selling great I'm happy.

Sounds like some misdirection to hide weaker than expected earnings. Companies always pull this type of stuff, reading The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham really exposes a lot of it.

This could be really bad for Sony. If they can't deliver parts on time Apple, Samsung etc will drop them and go to alternatives this could kill Sony's camera and devices divisions.



9.4% off forecast isn't too bad considering it's still way up on previous years. A drop in the smartphone market hitting their camera sensor business is a worry though. However Smartphone sales aren't exactly going to drop off the face of the Earth. The market has probably gone from growth to maintenance. I dunno why the financial world expects things to never reach a plateau and for growth to happen in perpetuity. It's such a stupid and unreal expectation.

It's all in the same boat though, if a company is having issues earning from one avenue they will look to their profitable area's to balance the books out, e.g. don't expect the extra few dollars from last years psn+ sub increase to directly go into better games for the service, when the company needs that cash elsewhere, now can you see why you might care?



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Honestly, their stock was rather modestly priced considering their forecast (which explains the relatively miniscule drop despite these somewhat dissapointing news). Like I've already stated in this thread though, they beat their forecast when exclusing impairment charges. Seems like they just wanted to get it over with so that it wouldn't reflect badly upon FY16.

Now I'm looking forward to per segment results.
