The causes of instability are the earthquake that hit Japan in March, which destroyed several buildings, Sony, and the costs borne by society due to the attack on the PlayStation Network, with the need to rewrite from scratch the security system of all the web part of the multinational.

In short, a rather negative term, financially speaking, for Sony, which denounces heavy losses. We hope that the fiscal year started April 1, 2011 will be better for the multinational PlayStation 3. Source: Neogaf
