If sony's new building had a very high vacancy rate (which, in tokyo, is still near record highs), they are not getting money by renting out.  Combine that with rents reaching records lows, if seems to me that they are making the smart chocie.  *sigh* Its like people are not even thinking anymore.

It has nothing to do with not thinking, this is a conversation.

If you have info we don't have you share it and we process it, period.

Back to your point, I had no idea. But anyways, it doesn't fully answer my questions. They had people in that building so they didn't need to rent it out.

Your questions are not going to be answered because we do not know the makeup of the building and who were the tenants, so to go by Trucks answer is amateurish.  We still don't know what the vacancy rate of the building was and thats assuming if they had any other tenants besides themselves.  if the building was owned by Sony and housed by Sony only employees, what income could take make with no other tenants? Outside the future apperiation/depreciation of the building (which of course we do not know outside Trucks because he can see the future) there is too little information to make a grandiose condescending statement.
