Actually it was quite terrible from Sony's viewpoint. They lost their market dominance, suffered a severe financial trauma, had their reputation tarnished, and are facing a verifiable repeat with their newest piece of hardware. Don't confuse Sony's willingness to throw money at a problem with any kind of success. Sony had to fire a lot of people, close down shops, and sell off parts of the company. Just to make the losses they suffered seem less heinous.

Even so Sony has seen its stock prices plummet. Had their stock rated as junk. Plus they have had to devalue the value of their stock further to obtain even more loans. So that they can prop their gaming division up further. Just to compete, and that is what happens when a company trades its life blood for market share. I hate to sound like a complete asshole about this, but what good is it to go looking for clouds with silver linings when your home just got ran over by a tornado.

Sure people can be thankful that they survived the ordeal, but I would not expect them to say that on the whole that the year they are having isn't that bad. If you ever run into someone that had that happen to them, and they sound that positively upbeat. They are either heavily medicated, or on the verge of a complete breakdown. Sony has just had a hard five years.
