Sony Records Losses, Nintendo Ups Profit Forecast

Sony Records Losses, Nintendo Ups Profit Forecast

None

Sony has reported that in the second fiscal quarter of 2008, their operating losses increased to $841 million, which is over double the $381 million recorded for the same quarter last year.

The losses stem from the selling of PlayStation 3 at less than cost and the “the increase in PS3-related inventory write-downs.”  However, the company as a whole made $787 million.

On the other side of the console wars, Nintendo has tripled its profit forecast to $3.7 billion for this fiscal year.  This would show an increase of 86% from last year’s final fiscal results.
