No, it said the brand wasn't in as much trouble as some people think. By 'some people,' he's referring to people that say Playstation is doomed. I know this because he says so in the title and by this sentence which precedes the body of his article: " Here’s why I think Sony isn’t doomed, and why the PS4 is in a much better position than you might think:"

No where does he say, in absolute terms, that Sony is not in trouble. He's saying, in relation to some people, it's not in as much trouble as some people think. What he is saying in absolute terms is that Sony isn't doomed.

"I think a lot of it is understandable and some completely reasonable, but it’s a glass-half-empty perspective that’s largely unfair. 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 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.

What!?

Isn't doomed = isn't in trouble at all? 

I said much better "than you might think."

I said a lot of the doom and gloom is largely unfair. "Largely" CLEARLY implies not ALL of it. Also, "some [of the doom is] completely reasonable."

Please stop with the strawmans.
