How much of that jump is owed to the PS4 though. I would estimate at least halve since the Sony movie and Sony music are in worse shape. Sony tv is still a meh market and Sony has stopped producing tablets and laptops and will hopefully stop making phones for their own good. But Playstation has had an enormous boost since 2012 and is enough to let Sony grow it seems.

Still living in 2012 I see. 

Pictures is poised to huge comeback with movies like Spidey and baby driver, Smurfs and RE did good too. 

Sony rules the TV market big time alongside LG and Samsung. 

Sony Music prints money and has one of the top grossing mobile games WW. 

SONY Playstation is beasting. 

Xperia Z Premium is the best phone on the market. 

Keep fighting the good fight.

calm down please... mostly when it comes to the mobile and tv divisions.

Especially on the mobile division where Samsung has about 50% of the android market vs under 3% from Sony... actually they are about #8 on Android alone... not even throwing apple into the mix.

You forgot the camera business.. recently Sony Camera have been giving pro canon and nikon camera a run for their money.

Not to mention almost 90% of cell phone camera sensors are sony exmor

Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Sony in beast mode. Global domination of gaming consoles has certainly played a major factor in this. And as the song says in MGS1, the best is yet to come :)

They should definitely not give up mobile. They just need to start selling their phones through US carriers as opposed to trying to sell them at full MSRP by themselves. No market presence in the US and none of the big 4 officially support them.

As far as Sony TVs are concerned...

 

 

Rtings.com scores for 2017 LED TVs 

X930E - 8.3

X940E - 8.2

X900E - 8.2

Q9F - 8.0

 

You'll notice that Samsung's highest tier TV this year was bested by not one, not two, but THREE Sony TVs in objective scoring. That means that Sony beat out the Samsung TVs without even having their best attributes scored (noise algorithms and upscaling), since both are entirely subjective.

Oh wow, op was perma-banned? Farewell if you see this. Sony is my favorite gaming company, so of course I like to see them do well. And that they're prospering overall, and returning to form in TV sales is good to hear.
