Here’s why I think Sony isn’t doomed, and why the PS4 is in a much better position than you might think" That's pretty clear to me that he's saying Sony isn't in trouble and in fact the position is much better. It's from the first paragraph. The definitive statement is the bolded section. He is pretty clearly saying that he can understand why people think Sony are in trouble but he will not conceed the point they are because he states it's "largely unfair". That my friend is as absolute as you get imo. |
"isn't doomed" =/= "isn't in trouble."
If you're doomed, then it's almost guaranteed that you're not going to survive; you're about to drop out of the market, unless a miracle happens.
If you're trouble, then you should survive, but you shouldn't be satisfied with your position. (Example: Nintendo during the N64-GC era were in trouble because their profits & marketshare droppoed lower and lower. But they weren't doomed because hardware sales, software sales, and GB sales still made sustainable profit).
APM asserts that Sony isn't doomed. He does NOT assert that they're not in trouble; he's just saying they aren't in as much trouble as suggested by some people - likely the people who believe Sony is doomed.
