Feb 7 (Reuters) - Sony Corp posted a third-quarter operating profit after a loss a year ago, supported by lower costs and proceeds from asset sales that are helping it offset weak demand for its TVs and other devices. In the three months to Dec. 31, Sony posted a 46.4 billion yen ($496 million) operating profit, compared with a 91.7 billion yen loss a year ago.

“I thoroughly enjoy retro-style games and with that, Magic Orbz modernises the classic brick breaking formula and it has held up beautifully.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
Thats good news for Sony but they have a long way to go, but with Kaz at the wheel it is very much possible. Let 20th FEB roll in and show me those next gen ps4 games.
Good Job Sony
Looks like Kaz was the right man!
Guys I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it seems as if the operating profit is in fact 496 million, however the net income is a $115 million LOSS. In comparison, Nintendo posted a $450 million profit. Their gaming division was a $6 million profit which is very bad news, especially since this is for the holiday season. 6.8m PS3/PS2 were sold, last year .9 PS2's were sold during the same time this year so I think it's safe to say 6m+ PS3's shipped. I'll link article to the 115m net loss.

Edit - It is still somewhat good news though, considering last year they had a 158 billion Yen loss. Only 10.7 billion Yen loss this year and it doesn't include the 1.1B NY headquarters they sold.
Edit 2 - I believe the gaming division only had a $6 million profit because of the R&D for the PS4.
This is great.
