Things are so bad at Sony that they have been firing people at a rate of 10,000 a year, for the past several years.

Firings began almost a decade ago as the company started to collapse.

11 consecutive years of firings.

And yet Sony is still in buisness, Amazing. What doesn't kill you make you stronger. ;)

Ahh you realize that is a quarterly, right? It wont even pay of the interest on their crippling debt. They will lose that and over a BILLION more annually again this financial year.

Sony is so desperate to pay off their debts they are selling assets back to credit holders in Japan.

Ironically the chemical business was at one time, very profitable for the company.


Again what is the point of this thread? What are you trying to prove?

people should change their attitude. Someone is posting something and the only replies he gets are totally retarted. name calling bullshit replies "you are a hater my glass ball told me!".

Chillout dudes......  even if he is factually wrong etc there is still better ways to tell him...

I haven't read the whole thread, but things like that happen when you got a posting history like the OP, certainly not the most mature thing but so is this thread, cause the intention here is clear as day and it has nothing to do with having a real discussion.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

Yeah, this thread is a mess. The aim to me is to cause an argument, and boy did that work.

Rather than ban people (and because I'm feeling generous today) I'll just lock the thread and forget this ever happened.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
