so has sony from the ps3....;)
but you have to admit, taking a $152 million dollar hit is not something SCE needs right now as they hemorrage money...
If this was a settlement as the article indicates the amount was probably factored in to Sony's books by their accounts before negotiations even took place. It's a common procedure before any litigation discussions begin so that each company knows what they can and cannot settle for. It's still a hit to SNE, but one they were probably prepared for and expected.
i doubt it....
this has been ongoing for some time and has been thru the appeals process more than once...
if you remember, (don't ask for a 3 year old link) sony was given the chance to settle for much, much less... around 80 million if memory serves.
btw; "factored in to sony's books"...? uh...what "book" would that be exactly?
"Books" is the term used to describe a corporation's accounting ledgers and data that must legally be filed with the SEC each year. And I highly doubt Sony's accountants ingnored such a common procedural accounting move to not assess potential loss and liability before a settlment negotiation. Unless of course Sony's accountants are ex-Authur Anderson and Enron employees.
