They have been at an operating loss for years and they've had to sell some of their prime real estate in order to make up for some of their losses.
As for your last comment I disagree as Samsung and Apple have much more market share than Sony when it comes to a variety of devices.
[QUOTE=draugur;44811515]Shouldn't have sold their computer business. They weren't great, yeah, but I'd take a Sony any day over a Dell or HP. (God fucking help you if you're stuck on a Gateway.)[/QUOTE]
So they should have continued an un-profitable operation?

I think another problem they have is a complete lack of advertising here. No one here has heard of the Wii U.
[QUOTE=InvaderNouga;44811756]They do sell things other than video games you know.[/QUOTE]
Yeah but their console is what's important right now, it's a big seller and being sold at a loss to boot, thus, they are going to loose money regardless in the first year of a console. As to their other areas not making up for that loss I have no real comment, but the gaming side of Sony is probably their most well known area of business short of Bluray or televisions.

There is a lack of advertising in general, even after 2 years.
I see 3DS, Tomodachi Life, and Kirby Triple Deluxe commercials everywhere but diddly squat for Wii U except the occasional ad on Cartoon Network and the Mega64 SSB video.
hope it changes sony makes good products

Their videogame division is one of their best performing, they just have to accept a short term loss when a new console comes out.
The real money sink is their fucking TV division with all their stupid gimmicks. Woah, curved screens now you can watch TV like a creepy loner because no one who sits at the side can see right, let's keep pushing that 3D tech despite people getting fed up with it 4 years ago.

Yeah but Microsoft investors said that about every product that isn't Microsoft Office
[QUOTE=zeromancer;44810869]It's a shame, I don't think Sony really deserve it to be honest. Especially when you've got companies robbing people of their cash and profiting big time from it.
But I guess that's how the world works.[/QUOTE]
TBH Sony is probably the most evil company I can think of, they've been caught putting rootkits in numerous devices they sell and their response when they're caught is always basically "lol fuck you", and they raided the home rather illegally of someone who was modding the ps3. I don't get why everyone gives them a free pass for this shit, there's way more despicable things they've done and the most they've done to make up for it is offer some deals on things.
