Wow, everyone seemed to be going great this year, at least in the silicon business (not implanting, but then again maybe too). Sony has just posted its second-quarter profit of ¥68.7b ($852m). That should be a massive improvement if compared to their previous quarter profit of $293m.
The Networked Products and Services division that covers the PlayStation and VAIO was Sony’s strongest performer, with revenue going up five percent to ¥369b ($4.6b) on top of 3.5m PS3 sales (a slight increase), a 40 percent increase in PS3 software sales to 35m units, and “significant hardware cost reductions.” PC sales were up to 2.3m units from 1.4m units last year, and Bravia and digital camera sales also increased, to 4.9m and 6.2m units, respectively.
However, not every corner is doing well. Their PS sales still continue to decline, down Now for 50 percent to 1.5m from 3.0m last year. By way of comparison, that’s the same number of PS2s Sony shipped this past quarter — maybe the upcoming PlayStation Phone would help. Just maybe.
