Yeah, dishdash is right, they are made to confuse the shareholders, because I am sure a lot of shareholders on the border of pulling out would take the leap if they just gave it to them straight.  With all the double meanings and generalizations no matter what happens Sony can find a way to put a spin on things so they don't look completely wrong when their estimates miss the mark by a mile.

They are not made to confuse shareholders. They're honest predictions at the time. Chubachi has already said they're likely to fall short on the predictions and he's higher up the Sony food chain than Hirai. We'l have to wait for 'official' word before we know more. There's no foul play no matter how much people wish it so. The main thing shareholders care about is the bottom line. And Sony are expected to exceed there prediction of 5% operating income.


 

You can think what you want, but when the playstaion division is doing as poorly as it has been, a company is going to try and twist the truth any way it can, like sony has been doing.  There is nothing "honest" about their predictions and or statistics, because they are all intended to spin the truth in a positive way for shareholders, who are probably seriously considering if its worthwhile to risk staying in and hope things turn around. The "truth" right now is that Sony and the PS3 are bleeding major money, which isn't good for shareholders.

You're getting to emotional about it, you're emotions dont = truth. SCE make up about 9% of Sony. Sony's overall predicted operating profit this fiscal was $2.6billion and even with SCE's losses they are expected to beat that!. Maybe you should follow the quarterly conference calls for shareholders from Sony instead of reading individual SCE execs interviews and surmising Sony spins, twists the truth to shareholders etc?.
