We'll see what happens, it sucks a lot that they put several devices together now though... we can't even know shipments accurately anymore.
About Sony, I'll tell a bit about my experience with some first hand impressions from Sony employees. Nothing major or new, but I may as well.
As some of you may know, I work in Japan as an instructor. My workplace is close to a couple of important Sony buildings and so I have a few students that work for Sony (mostly engineers). I usually ask them what they think of their situation and Kaz Hirai's appointment.
The answer I usually get is that they don't have much hope in Sony's situation improving in the immediate future and that any noticeable improvement will be at least middle (if not long) term. They mostly blame the yen's exchange rate and say that this applies to most major Japanese companies though, I don't know if they really believe this or it's a way to save face. Some other answers I've gotten are that the TV business isn't going anywhere, that competition from Apple and Samsung is too tough for them right now, and that some sections are overstaffed.
About Kaz, the consensus seems to be that he's awesome giving speeches and presentations and showing his vision (he really does get praise for this), when it comes to making actual changes, most seem to think that Sony as a whole probably won't change much under his rule either and that recovery will be a long process. No dramatic changes or improvements expected. They seem more optimistic about Kaz than the previous guy though, so I guess he must be doing something at least.
As I said, nothing major or new, pretty standard answers really. I guess their not gonna give me little dirty secrets... but I thought I'd share it here.
No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.
