@alephnull: I've said plenty of times that Sony has a chance of getting helped by the Japanese central bank. I never said their situation is hopeless, just that it's very bad if things continue this way. I can point you to specific posts of mine where I said so if there's any doubt.
It's more interesting and productive of us to argue the probabilities of each scenario, even though this is a very complex matter. One of the reasons why I don't count on the situation improving soon is that the American/European governments seem to be doing all in their power to devalue their currencies, with interest rate cuts, money "printing" and whatnot.
How big an effort would the Japanese central bank have to mount in order to not only cancel out these measures but also prop the dollar/euro further up than their current values?
