Obviously everything isn't great in Sony land at the moment, but I think these sorts of moves by companies are only good things, it means they are wizening up and taking a good strategy (usually). Cost cutting is a GOOD thing for consumers, and for companies... because they will (hopefully) pass down the saving to the consumer sooner rather than later.
I wasn't spelling doom and gloom but Sony's PR machine is always so positive and never comment about worries or anything like that at all they simply say 'they are the best we will be the best'.
Nintendo for example states that they are in an up-hill battle to win back Japanese consumers, and you know what it's working for them...
I just think this shows that Sony is wizening up and definitely lots of changes seem to be coming from replacing Katarugi (sp?).
