The console business is supposed to make them something like 60% of their income right now. As for number 1 in the film industry wtf are you talking about. Disney is king right now. Between star wars, marvel and Pixar, Sony have no chance at the top spot.

I feel like this gen wasnt won by Sony but lost by MS. They just made so many bad decisions its no surprise PS4 is winning. Though as someone who has 360 and PS4 i can say i dont really care either way as long as Nintendo is last. That cancer of gaming needs to die off already

Sony tv's are really excellent too and sell well, but I don't think they generate nearly enough revenue to help keep them afloat.
It's mostly PlayStation that keeps Sony going, but it doesn't really matter. Sony's not going anywhere because of the PlayStation brand. The rest of their stuff can close up shop for all I care. Although I hope they keep selling tvs too. |

Neither of those are related to the Sony you're talking about. Nice try though.

Here are the profitable divisions direct from Sony's 2016 fiscal financial report.
Game & Network Services Sales are expected to increase year-on-year due to an increase in PlayStation®4 (“PS4”) software sales, including sales through the network, and an increase in PS4 hardware unit sales. Operating income is expected to significantly increase year-on-year due to the impact of the increase in PS4 software and hardware sales, partially offset by the impact of a decrease in PlayStation®3 software sales.The impact of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes is expected to be immaterial. Devices Overall segment sales are expected to be essentially flat year-on-year primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange rates being substantially offset by an increase in sales of image sensors for mobile products. Operating loss is expected to increase primarily due to the negative impact of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes, expenses associated with the termination of the development and manufacturing of certain camera modules and the negative impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by the absence in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 of a 59.6 billion yen impairment charge against long-lived assets in the camera module business and a 30.6 billion yen impairment charge against long-lived assets in the battery business recorded in the previous fiscal year. The above-mentioned negative impact of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes is expected to be a total of approximately 60 billion yen, inclusive of opportunity losses resulting from sales that are expected to be lower than the level anticipated before the earthquakes, rehabilitation costs and a decrease in fixed costs allocated based on sales. This impact is expected to be partially offset by approximately 10 billion yen in insurance recoveries for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, that are expected to be reflected in the Devices segment. In addition, Sony decided to terminate the development and manufacturing of high functionality camera modules for external sale, the mass production of which was being prepared at the Kumamoto Technology Center, as a result of a reconsideration of the strategy of this business from a long-term perspective. Approximately 30 billion yen in expense is expected to be incurred due to this termination. Financial Services (No change from the forecast announced on April 28, 2016) Financial services revenue is expected to increase year-on-year primarily due to an increase in insurance premium revenue, reflecting an increase in policy amount in force at Sony Life Co., Ltd. Operating income is expected to slightly decrease year-on-year primarily due to Sony not incorporating into the forecast the impact of market fluctuations, such as foreign exchange net gains on foreign currency-denominated customer deposits at Sony Bank Inc. which were realized in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 https://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/library/fr/20160524_sony.pdf

Sony did give Disney the usage of Spiderman so I guess that's good but getting money by lending out IP's instead of the movies you actually make isn't a good sign at all.

once again people sony gaming has nothing to do with sony music /sony pictures/sony tv That's because Sony gaming is owned by some other company, other than Sony, right? Sony makes no money from gaming, since it has nothing to do with them, but they do make money from music/sony pictures/sony tv. Why? Because all of those are Sony, but Sony gaming, isn't Sony. That's the conclusion I came to based on Sony's gaming division having nothing to do with the company, Sony. But all other divisions are related and have to do with Sony. |

It's a weird deal but I can see how it works out for them. Disney gets to use Spidey but Sony gets to keep all the Homecoming money while the buzz it creates will, they likely hope, reinvigorate interest in the brand to support the upcoming Spidey-spinoff movies. For Disney they get to use one of the many well known legacy characters they don't have the rights to, in their flicks without having to pay a fee for him or share any of the MCU money.

Had Sony electronics made better business decisions, they could have killed the iPod and iTunes and become much bigger than they are today when will people on the net understand that a Japanese company can't try to kill an American product, japan will actually try to help and make it more successful, like when Toshiba and DOCOMO helped Apple with the iphone and also gave the 4G tech to iphone first, while japan can release the first 4G and 5G phone first but they didn't because they want to please the US, strange that most people don't know that.

MrDude1 posted...Crazy thing is.. Had Sony electronics made better business decisions, they could have killed the iPod and iTunes and become much bigger than they are today your opinion is valid. i understand we live in a global market and that companies of different nations can compete against each other globally. sony won the portable music player war for two generations with walkman and discman. sony sold millions and millions of walkmans and discmans in america and worldwide. they had brand recognition and were on the top of their game with portable music players throughout 80s and 90s. they could have easily made a killer mp3 player that would have been as popular as ipod. they owned their own music subsidiary and could have made an online music store as popular as itunes. toshiba had nowhere near the resources sony had. they made the business decision to put their tech in other companies' product, but they didn't have to. they could have made their own mp3 player but couldn't or wouldn't put in the resources necessary to create one. international business is cutthroat. nobody wants to please the us, nor any other country for that matter. it's all about profits.

Yeah. Sony has been having issues throughout the years. They recently phased-out their "Vaio" laptop lines. I think they sold it to a smaller company. They stopped making proprietary OS on their smartphones, and decided to use Android. They don't seem to have any interest on entering on the portable gaming market anymore.
It's just a simple manner of seeing what works, and doesn't in their end.

Of course. They have movie rights to Spider-Man among other things. Their movie division was sinking them a lot of money the past few years but seems like they're back on track. Homecoming and Baby Driver most recently were commercial and critical hits so it looks like their movie division is back on the map.
As for the music division, yeah, no. Sony houses the biggest artists on their record label. Anyone who even tried to attack their record label at anytime is a fool. Artists like Gaga, Timberlake, Katy Perry, etc. Please. But it's true. PlayStation makes the most profits for Sony. This has been the case ever since PlayStation was introduced to the world over 20 years ago now. Sony isn't going anywhere.

With Tom Rothman now heading Sony Pictures, I am generally not too optimistic about the future of the studio.

Yeah, Sony pictures sure is doing well when they're pumping out bombs like Ghostbusters 2016 and (hopefully) the upcoming Emoji Movie. Which I'm still anally annihilated over Sony funding that instead of Genndy Tartakovsky's Popeye movie.

I'm running on old numbers, but I think the PS4 was like 4 to 5 times as profitable as their movie business. Two of their recent CEO's came from SIE, and investors were begging Sony just a couple of years ago to spin off Sony Music and Sony Pictures because they weren't as good as their competitors.
But sure, Sony Pictures and Sony Music really kept Sony up. There's no doubt Sony is bigger than just the Playstation, but you have no idea.Geforce GTX whatever, i7 something or rather, some sticks of ram, an SSD and a Hard Drive with stuff on it.(edited 54 minutes ago)quoteSiLVeR_420 posted...binhbangpro2311 posted...
