Sony sales drop as losses rise
PC sales and currency changes hurt Sony
Nintendo confirmed earlier that a drop in Wii sales has seen profits plummet at the firm but they have presumably still been the subject of jealous glances from Sony - who today reveal that sales have dropped while losses rise.
The Networked Products and Services division - home of the Vaio range and PlayStation - saw sales for the second-quarter fall 24.2 percent over the same period last year.
Losses, meanwhile, were up to 58.8 billion Yen, from just over 40 billion last year.
Explaining the increase in losses, Sony blamed dropping PC and game sales - while also noting the effects of the foreign exchange rate.
