This reminds me of an interesting little fact I learned about how Sony makes money: Life insurance and personal finance! Source: http://www.splatf.com/2011/11/sony-profits/ http://www.splatf.com/2011/11/sony-profits/ Consumer electronics still generate most of its revenues (about half) - but just like GE, Sony appears to make a lot more profit financing the acquistion of their goods rather than from the goods themselves (GE makes more financing hydro-turbines for governments than from the turbines themselves). Curious to think that the entire PlayStation line might not just be a loss leader for games, but also for the entire Sony financing arm.
