Forums - Sales - When are each companies financial reports? (Speculation thread)

FinalEvangelion on 01 April 2008

Now that it's April 1st and the 4th Quarter is over.  Does any one have the exact dates for the Annual / Quarterly reports of Ninty, MS, and Sony?

 

I'll make this an early speculation thread.

 

Nintendo - crapload in the black

Sony - slightly in the black or right around break-even

MS - slighly in the red or right around break-even (Euro price cut). 



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials 

 

Conservatives:  Pushing for a small enough government to be a guest in your living room, or even better - your uterus.

>Sony - slightly in the black or right around break-even

Sony will be ridiculously in the black, fueled by strong LCD sales

I think Final is just talking about the gaming devisions of each company, which I assume LCD sales do not count for.

 again, Gaming division will be ridiculously in the black, fueled by strong PS2/PSP sales.

 

Slight increase from its 200+ million profit from last quarter. 348 million in the black, by my prediction.

That's certainly possible King, There haven't been any price cuts and I'm sure they're working hard to decrease costs, so things should be better than last quarter. If they aren't better it might show that Sony still loses a substantial amount for each PS3 sold. That's just a thought.

Nintendo's profit will be gargantuan.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

 Yep.  Just talking about Gaming divisions.  Sony will definitely be in the black as a whole, as will all the companies.

 How would financial report 'validate' VGChartz over NPD???

 Don't get me wrong, I love the whole "cheering for the underdog" idea, but COME ON!

 Just like it did at the end of the year in regards to the whole MS vs Sony who's greater than who for the month debate.
