Wall St Journal:

The game plan under new Chief Executive Officer Kazuo Hirai is familiar. It has become a rite of passage for new CEOs to announce a slew of bad news soon after being appointed. That way, the previous incumbent gets the blame.

The drip-drip of disappointment from Sony, though, doesn't reflect well on management. The latest dire profit forecast comes just over two months after the previous estimate stunned the market. That forecast, announced in February, more than doubled an earlier loss estimate announced just three months before.

 

Something odd there... how can they have got it so massively wrong twice in less than 6 months?  What the hell are they doing?  They do this and then expect people to believe they will revert to a $2.2bn profit next year? 

how dare you to doubt Kaz... he has a plan to be announced in a few days! Sony is in great hands!
