Q3:

YTD:

PLAYSTATION:

PS3: 1.84 million units
2006/12/31 1.84 million units (Japan: 0.81 million/ USA: 1.03 million)

PS2: 4.11 million unit
2006/12/31 115.36 million units (Japan: 24.76 million/ USA: 46.53 million/ Europe: 44.07 million)

PSP: 1.76 million units
2006/12/31 24.70 million units (Japan: 6.23 million/ USA: 9.58 million/ Europe: 8.89 million)

THe Electronics devision is hugely profitable (Just still having their profits eaten by the battery fiasco) and the analists were predicting a drop in profits of 50 percent and Sony's profits only decreased by 5 percent compared to last year This is with the launch of the PS3, the Root Kit settlements, and the Battery Recall. Every devision is profitable aside from the games devision which is expected, but the loss is less then expected as well.

Sony as it stands now is healthier then it has been in years, Howard Stinger must be happy. I bet the company would overall be far worse off if he weren't there.

Bravia continues to impress (did you know Ken Kuturagi had a hand in those TVs, and the LCD deal that makes them a fair amount of money?)

For reference the Electronics devision posted a 230 billion yen profit (1,891,141,462.96 USD, almost 2 billion dollars) despite having to suck up the battery recall which cost them about 500 million dollars.

Cell production is now at 65nm, astoudingly fast drop from what it started at. In the report it mentions that switching to 65nm production will decrease the cost of producing Cell by about 40%.

whats your major zenien?

 

[Zenien]

I don't have one.

I seriously am just interested in buisiness in general, and I have money invested in shares in Apple, Nintendo, and Sony (practically the minimum allowed amount for each I'm not made of money! ) So I keep up with this stuff.
