Sony estimates a loss of $ 3.2 billion


A year is nothing, but really hard for one of the largest technology manufacturers in the world. Sony has reviewed all its earnings expectations for fiscal 2010, which was finalized on March 31 and expects to suffer $ 3.2 billion net loss due to writedown of tax credits.


In another interpretation, the disasters that hit Japanese territory at the beginning of March have caused immense damage to the structure of Sony. Even the development and delivery of digital cameras for the new iPhones and iPads Apple's suffered all the problems caused by the earthquake and tsunami. Incidentally, this would, indeed, a possible reason for the delay in the launch of the new gadgets of Steve Jobs.

To add to that account deficit from Sony, we can not forget no way an invasion of the PlayStation Network, which reached about 77 million users worldwide, bringing the financial loss of $ 170 million for the Japanese giant.

These problems threw open the window of difficulties that the company is spending on the market, losing space to other companies such as Samsung and Apple itself, direct competitors in the smartphone and notebook computers.
The fact is that, if confirmed this loss of $ 3.2 billion, this is the worst result of the company since 1995, considered the least profitable and the biggest headache for Sony in the history of the company. The official announcement will be in deficit today, May 26.
