He seemed capable enough of cleaning up Kutaragi's messes in the PS division, so perhaps he'll be good at fixing Stringer's as well

what is happeing to that fool Stringer now?


He will get a huge paycheck and then, he will retire being a millionaire.

He'll have to retire, who'd hire him!

Stringer was brought in because Sony was struggling... it isnt struggling because Stringer was brought in.  He presided over a golden era for Sony Corp in the US from 1997 to 2005 before moving to oversee the whole Corp.    The old guard, including clueless Ken, are the reason why Sony is where it is. 

The guy has a pedigree in business.... some things just take time or are a lost cause.  Stringer has been a fall guy for a lot of the previous mistakes and has at least slimmed down the bloated mess that was in situ previously.

People who see Kaz as a knight in shining armout really need to get a reality check.

I mostly agree with you, but I usually don't have a strong supporting argument. He took over when most of the past decisions were being set in stone, the murder of the walkman brand, the design choices for the ps3, the investments of television division.

I can't really comment on the relationship with mobile division, since my knowledge of the division is lacking, and I personally have a strong consumer dislike of the brand based on negative experience. 

Also I share a similar view of Kaz, maybe he will be lucky and external factors start working for the company and not against it.
