"The most important thing is that, to improve organizational strength in the areas of development, purchasing and marketing, it will be necessary to further concentrate power in the hands of [Sir Howard] and unless this is achieved we believe [Sony] will be unable to close the gap with competitors such as Apple and Nintendo."
Strange they mention Apple and Nintendo by name...but not MS?
Apple making a home console confirmed?
Anyway, back on topic, We'll just have to wat till the Sony q3 results and statements on 29 Jan to find out the truth.
Also, for Sony gaming division to pull back from -$1.5 billion to just -$500mil in a mere 2 quarters isn't that bad, is it? still got another 4 months to pull back to the black.

They are competing with Apple moreso than Microsoft, on other fronts. Sony is alot more than games, they also do phones(competing with iphone) and music players(competing with ipod) and laptops(competing with macbooks).

Oh for sure, yet seeing as how they're only competing with Nintendo on the DS and Console market, they should at least have mentioned MS as a major compeditor too.

You're looking at this from a gamer perspective, the article is not. They mention Nintendo and Apple because they are market leaders competing with Sony on various fronts. Microsoft is a market leader, but not in anything that they're competing with Sony over. If they would mention Microsoft, they would do just as well to mention Nokia, Samsung, other TV companys etc. etc.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
