We have too many economy "experts" on this site lol. Just sit back and let Sony fix the mess. They have many qualified people to deal with these things.

For what it's worth, I've seen much more accurate predictions about the industry here than anywhere else, including "professional" analysts opinions. Before today, where else did you see predictions backed up by data that Sony would have an unprofitable quarter?

I'm not saying we're smarter than those analysts, perhaps there's some filtering going on there if you know what I mean...

 

Well, there are a lot of really smart people here.

Anyway, one of the bad thing for Sony is that their competitor aren't doing so bad right now: Microsoft, Nintendo, Samsung, LG, Nokia, etc.

Their strategy to rely on the brand name instead of the quality of their product hasn't paid off when the Koreans started to make really good products. I rather buy a LG or Samsung TV that is about the same quality as Sony than pay 200-300$ for it.
