Oh you are so wrong fishy; Kotaku and associated comments seems to think the Game unit is doing splendidly. ;)



Funny how they don't mention losing $841 million dollars.



In a nutshell, could you do a better job posting the info/news.

Revenue/netincome by each division. From - to, the dates the numbers are for.

Hardware:
PS3 - 1.31 million

WTF ^ does it mean.



yeah i was suprised how kotaku spinned it. i mean they did point out a fact...but failed to point out the red...

also, they comment on the report/kotaku...then sony have changed their "shipped" units to "sale" of units but is this any different from "sales" to retailers?

i did not believe the companies could track the retailer sales?

I'd buy a Cybershot if it used SD. Now I'm leaning towards a Powershot instead.

It all pertains to the second quarter July 1st to September 30th of this year:

sony got 1.31 PS3s out on the market.

electronics: +930 million

game: -841 million

pictures: +23 million

financial services: +201 million

all other: +94 million

 

those are all "operating income"

which means:

operating income= gross income - operating expenses - deprectiation

(also US dollars) 

 



Net income - $641 million

So this is profits ? for the entire Sony corp from July 1st to September 30th



^^Yes that is correct.

 For the quarter! That's around a $3 billion loss per year.

 Wow, PS3 might easily eclipse the $4 billion total lost by the first XBox.
