@Tsepz_GP Last year they returned profit and they have been profitable 2Qs this year and were expecting profit but they decided to undertake a restructuring which is taking its toll.
Weren't they restructuring just 2years ago when they bought Ericsson's stake in the phone division?
Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge.

Even before that there were several restructures since 2009 (as far as I remember).

BluRay and the expenses around selling the PC biz seems to be hurting them
http://www.theverge.com/2014/[....]-adjustment-impairment-charges
"Sony is warning shareholders to expect poor financial results for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. The electronics giant previously expected to pull in an operating income of 80 billion yen ($782 million) over the financial year, but is today adjusting that figure down to just 26 billion yen ($254 million).
The sharp reduction — the new operating income estimates are 68 percent down from a February forecast — can be attributed to a pair of somewhat unexpected events. Roughly 30 billion yen ($293 million) of the drop is due to "additional expenses" from Sony's exit from the PC business. The company announced it's to sell its PC division to a Japanese investment fund earlier this year."
Really tough for hardware manufacturers out there.. Software seems to be a much easier way to make money these days. Even the troubles with bluray demand are probably partially due to Netflix and Hulu

yeah, software always have mega high returns, its what turns MS into what they are today. Things like movies too are good as long as everything they put out are guarantee mega hit like spiderman. Their last 2 mega bomba like white house down and after earth should teach them to invest more carefully. I think they do get it and said they will do more small budget projects like TV such as Breaking Bad and less high investment and high risk projects like After Earth. Seriously who the hell still invest on M Night shyamalan stuffs?! I really hope they won't get rid of their TV division, as triluminos screen hsa just being mature enough and cheap enough to buy. Funny how everyone asked for IPS panels for the phones, their new 2014 TV are all IPS triluminos and they are trash compare to their 2013 models.

I guess next week. They issued a warning today and revised their previous forecast; now expecting 1.3B loss( vs. 1.1). I guess 9.5 million units sold would be a good guess.
That's Sony on the whole, but I believe Sony Mobile is actually one of the profitable divisions. Here's to them shipping more than 11 million smartphones!
*cheers*

I'm not sure it's relevant but to break the drought, here's my wishlist for Xperia Z3:
1- UI:
1.1 Keep current Xperia UI an option but also let users choose stock android with Sony's apps like Walkman etc.
1.2 Official ROM support: Let developers officially publish their custom ROMs through Sony (Xperia Lounge) if their ROMs pass Sony's tests.
2- Design:
2.1 Smaller bezels.
2.2 Rounder corners.
3.3 More color options; e.g different aluminium frame and back color like pink frame with black back.
3- Display:
3.1 higher brightness, less reflectance.
4- Other
4.1 Simultaneous charging through magnetic charger, USB charger and wirless charger.
4.2 wide availability.
How do you like my ideas?

I'd like to see Sony explore a slightly different design with the Z3, but something that is still sleek and angular. If they go with something that has rounded corners and a rounded back like the S5 or M8, I'm going to have to go on a week-long bender to get over it. I trust Sony to come up with something good, though.
I think the thing I'd like to see most on the Z3/Z Ultra 2 (or whatever) is a switch to RGBW OLED displays, assuming that such a product is ready from JDI.
