Billjw said:
It always baffles me when failure is praised. Pre-vita release, didn't jack tretton anticipate 3-5 million by the end of February or march? But it did 500k and he came out with 'right on target' thumbs-up.

maybe because its not a failure yet, and no one is really praising it they are showing the other side of the coin instead of all doom and gloom, unless only thing people can show on here is the doom and gloom, when its not a fact yet. 

An

By the CEO words its not all gloom n doom could he be lieing or not telling the truth? sure he could, that does not mean he is telling the truth or is telling a Lie. but if he is not telling the truth in this, than he would be in big trouble:

example:

 

Today the Sony Group comprises three main businesses: electronics,

entertainment and financial services. Entertainment and financial services have stable

business foundations and both are poised for future growth. In contrast, the

operating environment for our electronics business* remains harsh, with profits

suffering from price competition resulting from product commoditization and the

impact of persistently worsening foreign exchange rates. Accordingly, rebuilding the

electronics business and repositioning it for growth are the most urgent tasks for the

Sony Group, and my biggest responsibility.

Currently the Entertainment and Financial are stable business foundation's  their electronic's are not. that is the whole point right? to make sure that its a sound business responsibility?.

"Sony intends to generate steady profits across three hardware platforms, which provide

users with exhilarating entertainment experiences. They comprise PlayStation®3,

PlayStation®Vita—launched in late 2011—and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable), which

continues to enjoy momentum in emerging markets. Sony is also bolstering its growing

network services business, and plans to increase sales of downloadable game

titles and subscription services. In addition, Sony plans to reach new customers in the

smartphone and portable devices markets by expanding the lineup of PlayStation®-

certified devices as well as the choice of content available, thereby enhancing

profitability."
