the worlds been bad for a while not just sony. and it didnt become a terrible danger till december when the yen and sales plummited. it isnt just sony losing money. Circuit City went under. OFFice Depot, Linens n things, GM, Ford, (the other car manufacturer). all of these are american companies. |
Thats the point though, when the economy is in a downturn a good business strategy is to prepare for the worst, Sony did not do this which is why they've struggled so much financially. Microsoft have always been very good no matter the state of an economy because they're always well prepared for the good and bad times. You can of course also put most of the good state of Microsoft's finances in their vast cash reserves combined with almost recession proof products in Windows and Office.
