So far is the key... So far meant before the total economic collapse. If you hadn't noticed, the economy has melted to into a steaming pile of goo since September. Circuit City has declared bankruptcy and Best Buy has said this will season will be nothing short of terrible. And you think this won't be highly detrimental to Sony? |
Food and other essential goods producers are still thriving, the crisis is not as widespread as bankers would like us to believe to persuade even the most liberist governments to give them money and have their errors paid at public expense.
A crisis exists, anyway, but it will hit more or less every competitor, for example MS is trying even the most shameful things against ODF (trying to cripple it at ISO committees too, by trying to force it to adapt to interact with OOXML, instead of enforcing the latter's highly criticized flaws and quirks correction) to stop the irresistible decline of Office in the SOHO market, Vista is so hated that it will die young, killed by Windows 7, Linux, although still minority, is doing so well on cheaper subnotebook to make Ballmer's few remaining hair curl and force him to extend XP's life, thinking only Sony is hit is irrealistic.
