The problems that Dell, Apple, Toshiba, Lenovo, and other laptop makers 1 have had with Sony battery recalls have finally caught up with Sony. That plus development costs for their upcoming PS3 video game machine gave Sony a 94% drop in profits for the third quarter of 2006—after a $240 million profit in the third quarter of last year, they made only a $14 million profit this year. Earlier in the week Sony executives held a press conference to apologize for the problems that led to the recall of 9.6 billion batteries around the world. According to Sony chief financial officer Nobuyuki Oneda, the battery recall "gives a short-term impact" on the company's financial health, "though in the long term, we would like to improve the products so that people feel safe using them."
