Something doesn't smell right here.

FY 2011 = April 2010-March 2011. Not calendar 2011.
That's what I thought too. Why is this being reported now?
Too Little Big to Fail
It was kind of sarcastic but also kind of true.
You can't be oblivious to the fact that this company is losing money like crazy?
One man's trash is another man's treasure.They'll be fine. A company like Sony has too much to offer to go under.
This is not old news. SCE profit/loss statements weren't given in the standard filings.
Wanna know what else is a bitch?
When consumers lose options.
That is like trying to get water out of a sinking cruise ship with a shot glass.
Actually it would be FY 2011 = April 1st 2011 - March 31st 2012
Ueda is not really working for Sony anymore.
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Meaning the divisions would be pecked apart by vulchers.
If sony is closer to the wii u in power than the 720 wouldn't that make microsoft the odd man out in terms of 3rd party porting? Although I suspect in reality that would just really fracture the market and make a larger japan vs. West divide with japanese publishers and audience supporting wii u and ps4 and western developers supporting 720 and pc. Ignoring handhelds obviously.Sony lacks the first party sales strength of Nintendo and the services strength of Microsoft.
If they're not at least relatively up to par with Microsoft hardware wise, it puts them in an awful competitive position where they offer the best of nothing when it comes to actually selling consoles.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say or how it relates to my post but SCE specific p/l numbers haven't been available since the 2008 FY.From 2010 to 2011...
Kaz Hirai did a series of complex maneuver to restructure Sony (mobile, gaming and personal computers), including shifting stuff around, renaming SCE to SNEP temporarily and back.
There were also investments in Sony Entertainment Network as Kaz started the Network group, efforts to counter the hacks, Vita R&D + production, etc.
The financial reports then were naturally organized based on the new structure (the Network Product group).
No. fy11 is the financial year ending 2011.
A no-Sony future is a horrifying thought.
The only SCE studios who managed a 90+ in the last 3 years were Naughty Dog, Media Molecule, SCE Santa Monica and SCE San Diego. The studio Sony just bought (Sucker Punch) hasn't managed a 90+ thos entire generation. SCEA's metacritic average is 73, which is lowest among the 1st parties.Onus is on those studios. If their games score over 90% on Metacritic, they will still have a job despite poor sales of their games.
A no-Sony future is a horrifying thought.
Karma is a bitch.
Well smack my ass and call me Judy...beaten like a Jamaican pop princess.

Based on the another data found in the same Japan government website, they had profit about 20 bil Yen in 2010 fiscal year.
Games or hardware? If something drastic did happen, they would just sell off their game studios to other publishers and then those same developers would still be making the games you like to play today. They would just make them for other platforms.
Can't SEGA be blamed for their own demise?
In my defence...ITT folks learn when fiscal years start and end. One more time, the FY ends on March 31st of the following calendar year. FY 2012 will end on March 31st 2013.

Do we know if r&d was included?Manufacturing + R&D on PS4's cost a lot of $$.
Is this SONY or SCE? read the thread over and no real idea?

Wow. So not even gaming is making them money? Yikes.
Sony will definitely be charging for PSN next gen.
Also don't expect a super powerful PS4.
