Losses are good it means they are forced to think and change.
When you are protected from everything by the government(via laws or bailouts) then all that's left is stagnation.

Many people stop buying from Sony after that "rootkit" fiasco. But for a company that is very anti-pirate, they sure make some of the best blank DVD media available.

They don't make those blank DVDs. Some other company does and they stamp there name on it. Sony is garbage

Not even a record.
Same fiscal year ending March 31st:
Toshiba lost $3.5 billion.
Hitachi lost $8.1 billion.
Sony's $1.04 billion looks small compared to these 2.
Ouch!
