Kaz will bring back the thursdayaton.
Honestly curious though what he will say.

Their stubbornness lead them to completely loosing in phone business couple years ago. They gave you their flagship model at premium price, than put a kick ass camera in it and bad media player. On top of that for couple years they refused to pack 3.5mm jack in their phones so people can buy their SE headphones which are laughably bad. While Samsung gave you everything in their flagship model that you can think of.People don't care about Sony TVs in our store. The ones who are "Sony boys" comes in, but as soon as I show a Samsung they're converted. Sony have no answer to Samsung design and Smart TV features.
Younger people want to use USB memory sticks too to play movies, but Sony are so damn stubborn with going against piracy. You need to register online to even get DivX to work. This while LG and Samsung (both only profitable TV companies) have MKV and all other major formats, while Sony only have DivX.
Adults want design and Smart TV features. Design-wise Sony has no answer to Samsung's thin frame. Their web browser also lack Flash support, making it more or less useless for multimedia. And their Smart TV:ish features are ridiculous. It's funny considering they have so much experience in software via PS3.
Older people dislike the menus and remotes and chose LG any day of the day week due to their simplicity. LG also have many cheaper models that are popular which brings their production prices down.

The OP's a bit misleading in that it seems to pin the cause of the loss on the TV business.
The extra loss above and beyond their original forecast is a non-cash, non-operating loss. They had to write off tax credits in the US they previously recorded as earnings because, well, they didn't have the profits that would enable them to use those credits. Their operating and cash forecasts remain unchanged.
At least 7 out of 10 Sony products are crap, so I am not surprised.
Getting ready for the last Sony game console, the PS4? After that it could be Microsoft, Nintendo and maybe Apple.
Yeah, like smartphones. Totally useless for multimedia. And most tablets. Also useless for multimedia.

I wouldn't bat an eyelid if it were Samsung. They're an incredibly competitive company, I can see them bulldozing their way into the game space if there was an "opening".
They could try to negotiate it at least. This change rate is killing the export.
So when can we expect a new Samung console?
Yap. From that moment on I said no more Sony for me except PS. That thing right there really got on my nerves.This, right here, is a huge problem Sony has in all its areas.
Proprietary bull shit that just turns people off completely.
It's insane.
Was the tax explanation used last FY as well? I know this is not the first time they have used this point but I don't recall when and if I'm mixing a previous Q with a previous FY.
I'm sure this cant be right but I feel like I've read about sony posting enormous losses for the last 6 years. They must had some success otherwise they wouldnt be still in business, right? Hopefully Kaz can turn it around for them
Well, if Sony bow out of the console business and Apple step in, at least Samsung will follow to copy Apple. The Starcraftstation will be a world wide phenomenon and Sony will be soon forgotten.
Er, you should probably rephrase that.How much of a success is the Vita right now?
Er, you should probably rephrase that.
No shows of stopping? Didnt they plan on cutting jobs yesterday?
Yup that's one of the reasons i did buy a psp and a psv.I wonder how much money the mermory stick makes for them to continue using it.This, right here, is a huge problem Sony has in all its areas.

Tablet browsing and TV browsing are not similar. People don't really surf around much on their TVs since the browsers are slow, at least the ones I talk to. It's really hard with a TV remote. Surfing on tablets are much easier.
Have you tried surfing on a TV with a TV remote? Compared it to a tablet?
What people I've talked to want to use their TV browsers for are streaming sites, like Hulu.com. Those variants in my country doesn't work on Sony TVs due to lack of Flash support.
I just wondered whether the Vita business is losing money or whether it isn't
Flat-panel TVs in general have become commoditized - this isn't a situation affecting only Sony, but all TV makers really.What happened to Sony's TV section? I remember back when a Trinitron was the TV to have. It really boggles my mind

The company blamed the record loss on tax charges related to its US business.
Really?

Philips dropped out? Damn! They had great LCDs, dunno what happened...They've completely missed the transition to the LCD or Plasma like they missed the transition from CD to data for music devices. They've tried to catch up, but quality-wise there is still lot to do.
Even Philips dropped out from TV business. I think Sony is not too far away to do so, but for them it would be a sort of nightmare since their electronic section is much, much bigger than within Philips.
good bye high end tech ps4
I think last year they wrote off tax credits in Japan.

Is any TV manufacture doing good today.
He is outlining his turnaround plan on Thursday. Think of this as Stringer's parting gift.

Lower your prices, Sony.
