Sony reports profit but PlayStation division continues to lose moneyDVDBack23 @ Jul 28, 2007 11:55 | 19 comments According to Sony's latest financial figures, the company is now profitable. For the quarter, Sony had revenue of over $16 billion USD with a reported profit of $808 million USD.
However, the PlayStation division of Sony, otherwise known as Sony Computer Entertainment, reported a heavy loss of $237 million USD although revenue was up 60 percent.
For the period, Sony shipped 2.7 million PS2s, 2.14 million PSPs and 710,000 PlayStation 3s. In total, for all three systems, Sony shipped 46 million games, with the majority being for the PS2.
According to the New York Times, Sony was helped greatly by the large box office sales of Spiderman 3 as well as other hits during the quarter as well as continued growing sales of LCDTVs and HDTVs
For the rest of the year, Sony hopes to ship 10 million PS2 consoles as well as 11 million PS3 units. Sony also hopes to ship 9 million PSPs, which was Sony's highest selling system for the month of June and which is being remade soon as a "lighter" version.

Comment by: MasterRE (Jul 28, 2007 23:19) What do you expect when the PS3 is priced so damn high? |
Comment by: borhan9 (Jul 29, 2007 01:09) Sony is lucky that it has the PS2 and the PSP also to make money plus other avenues otherwise the PS3 is just a hole and sooner or later they may end up closing the ps3 production if losses continue. |
