Good numbers when you imagine that Sony already bought gakai and a Musik Label for over 2 B dollars.

Sometimes I wonder what Sony has to do to make their own fans say something like "I don't think this looks healthy..."

Sony reports more than 300 million USD loss for the past 3 months, 6 billion for the financial year, the stock prices crashes 11% in one day, since Kaz became CEO the stock price fell 40%, they are lowering their forecasts, moody cuts their credit rating, the Yen is killing them and they kill 10.000 jobs. All of this happened in the past 8 months.

The reaction you see on gaming forums is like "oh, good to see Sony is doing fine."

It really amazes me.

The majority of Sony fans have admitted to the trouble Sony is in. However, as with any group, there will always be a few people that deviates from the norm. I too would be amazed if the majority of Sony fans said Sony wasn't in trouble. But that's not the case. From what I've seen, only a few people have been making the situation appear differently than what it is. Nothings amazing about that. There are odd minorities in every group. What's amazing is you fixating on such a small group to make it seem like they are actually abundant enough to be relevant (which they aren't) to make it seem acceptable to associate them with all Sony fans. Thus effectly attaching the stigma of ignorance & obliviousness to all Sony fans.
