Are they meant to say: "We're gonna call it quits, we've been well and truely spanked?"

From what I can see, this wasn't a question and answer. They didn't have to say anything at all on the subject.

 

Reassuring the shareholders.

 

Not a legitimate excuse. If they were asked the question directly, or if this were an actual shareholder's report or meeting I could understand having to stretch the truth to not appear weak, but there is no gun pointed to their head pressuring them to say anything. It's done under their own accord, and they had the choice to avoid the topic altogether, meaning it never had to come to, and I quote "We're gonna call it quits, we've been well and truly spanked?". You made it appear there were only two choices, and I presented a legitimate third option that could avoid either appearing delusional or weak. That's all I'm trying to say.

 

 

 

I suppose if MS can chest pound and say how they are better than everyone else when nobody asked, I guess Sony can knee-jerk and say they don't suck as bad as people think when nobody ask, it's all PR speak, they all do it.

As long as they are aware they aren't kings of the world and are sure they can (or at least make a respectable attempt) make a comeback then uhh...good on them?

But I kinda see what you mean, too much self hype can come across as a little bit desperate.

I have the exact same answer for Microsoft. If it's not a strength, then no need to "beat your chest" and stretch the truth to appear strong. Just amplify your actual strengths. I've just noticed Sony PR has had an incredible knack this generation concentrating on making their weaknesses appear to be strengths and that is what has lead to those long lists of epic quotables that make people scratch their heads in bewilderment.
