Sony as a whole company(Sony picture, Sony ericsson, Sony bravia, Sony BMG, Playstation)
150 billion yen ($1.5 billion) net loss for the fiscal year.
but Microsoft's XBox Group Still Operates at a Loss, XBox Director Quits said: A year or so ago, Information Week revealed that Microsoft had lost about $7 billion in its XBox business ALONE.
Without wishing to propagate the story of piracy here, its worth noting that they can STILL make a profit from Sony Pictures. In saying this I am not decrying their profits. But it is in the 'climate of piracy'. So it proves that 'fair' margins are there in soft goods not hardware I guess.

Hardly a surprise when you have a former record company executive as your boss. Expect more losses as this man pushes through his ideas of transforming sony into a "contents distribution channel" and further sidline this companys once legendary hardware division.
Ahlan: Do you work for sony's PR dept or something?
Xbox division may have lost 7 billion US, but Sony made a "150 billion yen ($1.5 billion) net loss for the fiscal year." including "Sony picture, Sony ericsson, Sony bravia, Sony BMG, Playstation" - I'm willing to bet Sony Picture, bravia and BMG made money - leaving only ericsson and playstation losing money - So that 7 billion figure you were talking about for MS 360 would suggest that perhaps things aren't any better with sonys playsation division?
