Wait I don't understand what these analysts and arm chair analysts wanted out of this presentation...did anyone actually expect him to give out the details on ALL the steps that he is going to make at this time? Right after the 10k job cut? LOL people must think this man is an idiot or something to do that. I think the fact that some drastic measures have been taken already and also the fact that he is practically saying such cuts/changes will continue is good enough. Kaz himself is taking over the tv division which instills confidence in the shareholders which combined with the above factors increased their stock value. It's not rocket science.
The tv division needs some major changes and sony does need to come up with things to wow others, even if they are considered as gimicks by some. It will help them improve their brand image. sounds like Kaz understands this too. Best of luck to him |
Well you cant expect the to be optimistic if you only tell them what you are going to do buy not exactly how.
Anyway i dont see them turning around things so fast because "But back then Samsung and Apple were not as powerful as they are today,", their competition just got better in almost all their important branches.
In gaming i expect annoucements for vita on e3,but i doubt they will "wow" me. Im open to surpises tough.

If analysts actually expected him to detail out any on going negotiations and even any other cutbacks and such on the back of some major layoffs, they are being idiots. That's not a smart way to do business. Information on the new steps taken will come with time for sure. We already saw the restructuring of the mobile division (which I think is still going on), closing of zipper interactive, 10k lay off and even smaller steps like stopping Qore. I do not expect people to be optimisitc at all and that was not my intention in typing my previous response. People just, like in all things in life, should have realistic expectations. Kaz was never gonna come out and give a magical plan of financial recovery. But he at least seem to know things need to be done and the fact he is taking over the tv division is a sign of encouragement for the investors.

And the realistic expectations they are having is that they wont be able to turnaround so quickly. I cant blame them, situation right now doesnt really leave a lot of optimism for Sony's future. So they are justified to belive what they want if Sony isnt giving them a straight answer, you are right its not wise to tell your plans in advance, but dont expect people to trust you for that.

I'm not saying the analysts should put their trust on Kaz, especially since he is still new to the position. I don't expect sony to see a quick turnaround either. It's gonna be a long process with a real tough task ahead of them, but it's definitely a manageable task. They need some positive cashflow and to do so need some major restructuring in most of their divisions and also new ventures. I hope they nail PS Suit cuz I think that could be a small but positive impact for their business. I hope they do succeed as I enjoy their products.
