Disaster over at Sony, loss forcast increases dramatically

[Julius Seeker]

Remember when Sony decided to buy out Ericsson's side of Sony Ericsson, and make a full Sony phone company? Well it bit them in the ass! Loss forecast for the year has increased from 400 million to 2.1 billion. Sony Ericsson used to be one of the major mobile manufacturers, and now fully under. Sony's guidance has slid into obscurity and is now a major burden on the Sony Empire.

Sony should hit up Notch for a loan.

Haha. I am trying to figure out how that 2.5 billion investment is going to work out. Minecraft has probably already peaked, and it seems unrealistic that it will make 2.5 billion in profit in the future as a franchise.

Is Microsoft going to leverage the franchise? iOS, Google, and Sony platforms account for a large portion of their revenue.
