Sony ekes out small operating profit, cites 7.4 million phones sold, strong performance of the Xperia S
13

Sony's operating income slid 77% year-on-year in the last quarter, the company reported, down to mere $79 million. This is still much better than the first quarter, when the company ate a huge loss on restructuring and consolidation charges.
Still, due to the falling prices of laptops, the MP&C division recorded a $356 million loss. The company sold 7.4 million smartphones, and its forecast for the 12 months ending August 2013 is 34 million units in total.
Bringing Sony Mobile into its Mobile Products & Communications (MP&C) division would have increased sales in that segment, which also includes the company's laptops, with 14%, had it been done in the same quarter last year, thanks primarily to strong sales of the Sony Xperia S and the Sony Xperia acro HD, claims the company.
