After cutting prices, Sony managed to sell 4.9 million PlayStation 3 video game consoles during the last quarter. Combining this with the lower manufacturing costs, and more and better games, Sony’s gaming division finally made profit. After many quarter of repeated losses, Sony has managed to turn things around and total profit rose by 25% for the last quarter. Sony also lowered its sales goal for PlayStation 3, from 11 million for the whole year, to 9.5 million because of the poor start, a fiscal year which ends in March.
