http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/ces2013-liveblog0025.jpg It’s been a while since we had any good financial news for Sharp, so we’ll start there. On an operating basis, Reuters and Nikkei report it managed to turn a profit for the October to December quarter of 2.6 billion yen ($28.5 million) – more than analysts had predicted – despite still recording a net loss of $398 million. That’s not so bad when you consider the massive losses of a year ago, although questions raised last fall about the company’s viability still remain. We’ll see if a slew of new devices and partnership with Qualcomm are what the doctor ordered – hopefully the #1 manufacturer of 60-inch and above HDTVs in 2012 can continue on long enough to put its 8K Super Hi-Vision TV in our living rooms.
