As TheBigFatJ says, there's lots of information out there on Sony's situation. From Sony's financial statements to their Q&A sessions at the financial conferences. That's the thing with being a publically traded company, you have to share a lot of information with the public.
That's why it's easy to tell that Sony as a whole is in trouble during this quarter, and will very likely post a loss. Sony's debt and money collection is also public (if you haven't seen those threads, they had to pay more than $2 billion in debt recently, and raised $400 million from investors).
For next year, there's all the information available about falling electronics demand for starters, and loads of analysis about the recession and financial crisis which will certainly continue throughout the whole year.
There are some things we don't know, and some things aren't certain, but there's a lot we know too. To cut prices in the near term is asking for trouble.
