The headquarters location and image listed for Sony Group Corporation on the Sony Wikipedia page is wrong. The correct headquarters location is "Headquarters（Sony City） 1-7-1 Konan Minato-ku, Tokyo, 108-0075 Japan" (source: https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/CorporateInfo/Data/Map/ ).

The Sony City Minato Mirai location that is currently listed is not Sony Group's headquarters location. Refer to the above link to see that it is not listed as the headquarters location. 240B:11:3B40:1500:6109:CC9F:F508:BAA9 (talk) 06:42, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: Don't see the error here. The street address given by Sony in that link still says Minato, Tokyo, which is what our infobox also says. Not sure what you are referring to when you say "The Sony City Minato Mirai location that is currently listed" as there currently does not appear to be any instances of the word "Mirai" in this article.

Change “Net income” to “¥943.622 billion”.

The net income is incorrectly stated as “¥943,622 trillion” for FY2022 when it was actually “¥943.622 **billion**”. Source: https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/er/pdf/22q4_sony.pdf

Else Sony’s net income is somehow an order of magnitude higher than its revenue and around the GDP of all of Japan; the former being extremely unlikely and the latter I believe being logically impossible given Sony is based in Japan. 157.131.168.236 (talk) 04:35, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Correction to my last paragraph (request for edit itself is unchanged): ¥943,622 trillion can be interpreted as ¥943.622 quadrillion given the rest of the page uses “.” convention to indicate fractional values. That then is of course an absurdly unlikely value. I say this all not to be pedantic or to harp on what I believe is a small typo, but to hopefully just add more support as to why I believe this is technically incorrect. 157.131.168.236 (talk) 04:41, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Nice catch! Xan747 (talk) 00:09, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for making a change; however, the value is still incorrect. The decimal is correct now, but it should be “billion” not “trillion”. 157.131.168.236 (talk) 01:32, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
