Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony rating lowered to one point above junk status by investors

There is no denying Sony is in deep but that doesn't mean they can't get out of it.

With a company that big and with a hand in so many pies restructuring can take a looong time.

Hopefully there will be enough time.

Sony should ask Microsoft for money, and in return let Microsoft use blu-ray discs for Xbox 720.

I'm just joking.

Poor Sony.. wasn't their credit status just recently lowered previously? I hope this downward spiral ends soon.

Since there is only step down left to go, the downward spiral is going to end soon, regardless of what happens.

Moody does not equal investors. Sony are not going anywhere.

Hmmm...I think a better analogy is that it's more like a large ship, carrying over 3,000 people, steaming as fast as possible to port through the Northern Atlantic into an ice field, it hits an iceberg and begins taking on water.  Now, the fanboys...err...crew believe the hype that it's an unsinkable ship.  The rest of us are on the California steaming back to port and Google is the RMS Carpathia, there to rescue what's left of the RMS Titanic and her crew.


An analogy like that implies that it is already done for since you are using a historic example. Your opinion is inflatted.

Sony just hasn't seemed to be able to adapt to the times. They haven't been able to put any sort of dent in the MP3 market (although to be fair few companies have) the laptop market, the cell phone market, the camera market, or the tablet market. Meanwhile Samsung and LG have really stepped up their TV game. Sony needs some sort of major spark of creativity to save them.

This just keeps getting worse and worse.

Things are actually getting better belive it or not.

How exactly?

Don't know the specifics. Look at Sony's last quarter results.

A net loss of 198 million just means they slowed the bleeding. But the conversion rate, especially Euros, will always bring losses when converted into yen. Thats something Sony can't change at all.

Exactly. It's a start.

Plus they are restructuring and letting go of 10k employees. You can't say that Sony isn't trying.

Ok fair enough. But historically, cutbacks are only a band aid solution. Sony needs a real revolutionary product to bring them back in the black.

Their venture into medical lenses actually looks like a profitable idea.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Not!

The share price is at 10.xx, it has reached a new all time low. Don't spin this, but if you insist on spinning it, then give some information to support your spin.

I was pretty sure VAIO sells pretty well and they advertise those laptops. Xperia is the 2nd selling phone in Japan and holds a reasonable marketshare amongst Android phones. Sony cameras are still highly regarded and of the upmost quality as Sony tends to develop very high end optical tech. I don't know this for sure, but I doubt you've done your homework either. It's just my impression. Sony has moved from MP3s to music streaming and their tablets don't sell very much I think.
