Forums - Sales - Sony Q4 Earnings Release (05/14)

FishyJoe on 14 May 2008

Actually, their conversion rate is 100 yen to the dollar. So the loss is reported at $1.245 billion.

 Oh, I see. Good to know. Thanks.



Hi there.

Yeah, so they DID lose a bit for the qrt. I knew they would - it just shows that sales of the PSP & PS2 were covering for the losses of the PS3 last quarter.

Pretty sucky results all around (for entertainment division), reminds me of what MS used to post.

whats the gaming divisions profit?

It lost $1.24 billion.


I should have said for the quarter.


About a $280 million loss if I'm adding correctly.

Q1: -$237 Million
Q2: -$841 Million
Q3: +$113 Million
Q4: -$280 Million

 


 The picture isn't as bleak if the currency is in yen though.

Q1:  -29.2 Billion
Q2:   -96.7 Billion
Q3:  +12.9 Billion
Q4:  -11.5 Billion

Which is only a loss of $115 Million.

 

Interesting to note that they exceeded their forecasts for PS2 and PSP, but still fell short of the reduced forecast for PS3s shipped(though not by much).  I believe the early forecast of 10M PS3s shipped for the next fiscal year to actually be conservative by Sony for once.

Hmm interesting.

SONY plans on making a profit in FY08 in their games division.

I have a feeling that PS3 and PS2 sales will exceed their FY08 predication aswell ( i mean their inital FY07 PS2 prediction was waay under ( like 9 million vs. 13.7 million in reality ) ...

Looks preety good from SONY -- nothing amazing but nothing unexpected either ...

They did not have big loss Q4 so they will probably profit well this quarter.



 
FishyJoe on 14 May 2008

Either way, it still totals to a $1.245 billion loss for the year.
