psrock said: Sony executive said Sony's LCD TV sales would likely fall slightly short of a targeted 60 percent rise in unit terms this financial year. They have no problem saying they won't meet expectation for their products. |
Except Sony's TVs are far more trusted than the PlayStation brand. After a single product loses over $10 billion with no hope to recover most of it, the mere thought of it underperforming would have investors running.
When you have a product that's rising 60% YOY and (I assume) thrashing its competitors, investors really don't care if it's ever so slightly under expectations.
