I believe that Sony can return to prominence, but only if it first decides what it is that the company wants to do. In the past ten years, Sony has over reached in the market to try and make everything, without really doing much well.
Obviously they are staying in the Video Game biz. That is fine, they are good at that. They need to pick which other sectors to keep producing products for, and focus on only a few models, not 18 for each. Look at Apple. They succeed because they make a limited range of products very well. Make 3 or 4 different cameras, not 39. Make 10 TVs, not 50. And just get out of the portable music player business, Sony hasn't had a good music player since the Discman.
Sony is a storied company, one that rose to prominence by making great products. They are over extended currently, bleeding money trying to capture a piece of every electronics market. If they focus on the few areas where they are definitely better than their competitors, they will succeed. I expect Kaz to do this, time will tell.
Oh, and to man-bear-pig, it has been 3 days since I posted. This weekend was kind of wild for me, didn't spend a lot of time around a computer. Don't worry, I'm still here buddy.
