very very very different reasons and circumstances......

..... so I see it has started already.

Just think of this as your opportunity to explain how buying a failing company was different than losing money that didn't exist :D


well even that isnt quite the correct description is it...

..... the "massive trolling" you refer to was more to do with the fact that it also signified the 8th straight year of huge TV losses and the 4th straight year of massive full Sony corporate losses, aligned with a collapsing share price and woeful forecasting of Kaz and crew.....  

So even if there was a lack of any difference in the reason for the write off's the result and landscape in which they occurred is so utterly massively different it isn't even on the same planet.

 

Yes, but see look at this. The environment in vgc is one in which users are characterized by what they post and say. When you went into that Sony thread with 4B in tax deferral writeoffs, and call Sony a basket case without acknowledging that a great proportion of the loss was technically not a loss, or at least, not as harmful to the company in the near future, you make people think that you're a troll. However, if you go into threads like those and say something like

"sony is a basket case, losing money every year. The tax is quite a shock though, and I think people need to understand that a tax deferral loss isn't an actual loss but a loss of future earnings. So it's bad, but until they make profit, that 4B doesn't mean anything"

Then it will help quell the other guys who are hyping up the loss, and people will see you as more objective, and won't come into your threads to talk about MS' writedown, or may even argue on your side.

I'm not saying you're a troll, but as I said before, LOGICALLY, if you hype up one massive loss, you're going to see it come right back at you.

So again, take my advice and cool down, otherwise this thread is going to turn into a shitfest with you arguing against everyone with your answers that have more ellipses than words.
