Sony as a whole should be optimistic right now. Blu-ray beating HD-DVD so quickly is a good sign, but there is still DVD to worry about. While it is looking good compared to the last format switch, I would say it would be prudent to stay cautiously optimistic and agressive about getting Blu-ray to the level where it can compete with DVD in terms of sales.
If Sony's game division is anywhere near cloud 9 right now then they have accepted that they will be second place at best. While they have had marked improvements, and are gaining a decent amount of ground on one competitor, the other is still miles ahead and getting further away. They should definatly watch what happens after the 360 price drop and at least have tenative plans to respond in case it works better than what would normally be expected.
