Reading a few posts here, what I got out of it is: We cannot be optimistic for Sony at all. Absolutely no positive discussion for anything Sony; nothing but doom and gloom. But, let's be optimistic for Nokia and Windows Phone in general.

My bias and everyone else' of coarse.

Not really, it's just some see it negative and swear that's the correct way to view it. Then there's the people who will try and make anything look positive. I like to think I'm in the middle, but it just so happens this isn't really that positive, if at all. The proof is that if it was positive, it wouldn't need people to try and spin it that way and the people saying it's negative would look really stupid by now.

As you can see the person responding to me went a bit hysterical about my comments.

It's not so much Sony but more the people seranading Sony that's the problem, yes some would love to see Sony fail. But I tell you what, they'd love to see some of the Sony supporters fail even more.

Threads like this are a gambit and will get eaten alive if the clear proof of success isn't there.

Why should we celebrate a companies success anyway, in this case it's even worse, you want us to be positive about a company that's in 3rd place, not only 3rd place, but 3rd place by a very long way from 2nd.

You make a thread about how good Samsung is doing and I'll support it, because they really have taken massive market share from Apple. Sony....well....ummm....what are we celebrating exactly?

Couple that with the person who created the thread and....well, I don't really need to say anything else.

So you essentialy answered your own question... What are we celebrating exactly? Sony taking market share from Apple and Samsung. Proof of success is there.. their cell phone sales has risen, and their market share has increased. Why not just give them a golf clap? 

Heck people are clapping and cheering that blackberry 10 is still on schedule and Nokia got their lumia 920 out the door is and making good sales figure, even tho their market share is still abysmal.

Because a small increase is nothing to clap about perhaps?

After all when Wii become market leader did many gamers praise Nintendo for turning it around? No they kept calling the Wii a fa and every week posted threads it would fail.

So if this wasn't enough to impress people on these forums, do you really expect a growth from 4.8% to 5% to impress them?

So.. there is something wrong with your statement. If Wii became the market leader and gamers called Wii a failure. This can only imply a couple of things:

1. The Gamers who bought the Wii hated the wii and associated themselves to failure
or
2. The wii was never the market leader. Thus the majoriity of the gamers never bought the wii and talked down on it.
or
3. Wii didn't attract gamers.

Growth is always something to applaude about. If Sony gained 1% every quarter, in 10 years, they'll occupy 40% of the market in just 10 years. Would you consider that significant?
