It's positive. That's what matters considering the deep hole they were shoveling themselves out.

Yes the yen helped but to keep yapping on as if the yen is the only thing that helped turned the corner is just taking credit away from Sony's real success.

The xperia phones has been a huge success and investors can see that so it's not just the yen. From selling about 10m phones in 2010 to selling 33m in 2012 and growing in 2013 is going to make the market take a second look. Actually Sony said they are disappointed with the xperia sales this year because the z is taking most of the sales while the other models sit on the shelves so still problems there.

And to be fair to Kaz that recession thing did put a lot of Japanese companies in a spin so to blame him too much is a bit harsh.
