80% Sony, 15% Nintendo, 4.9% MS, 0.1% PC/OUYA
Its pretty clear since when Nintendo makes a mistake, there are about 50 threads in one day about how doomed they are vs when Sony makes a mistake and loses 1.1 Billion dollars, theres like what? 3 threads? |
Well, I mean, that's simply down to reading the article regarding Sony's 1.1B dollar loss, reading the actual facts regarding the situation actually tells...well, anyone who cares to look into it that this is a major attempt at both restructuring and what could very well be a return to profitability by getting rid of their two biggest losing divisions. Won't have a huge impact until 2015-2016 when they stop having to cover the VAIO costs/warranties, but it's certainly improved their financial outlook moving forward.

Well according to the bloomberg report on it, Sony hasn't, or kaz, hasn't done any real restructuring. The investors aren't happy, and if you read the Bloomberg story, really, Sony isn't much different today than they were a couple of years ago. Without selling buildings, their losses would have been even more massive. They need to do something extreme, and when they do, they will be a shell of their former self, but at least they will exist.... If they keep basically doing nothing(the pc sector is a start) then they WILL go bankrupt. Son is in deep trouble, nothing they've done is looking like they will be better off in 2016... Look up the bloomberg story... Very eye opening, and depressing.

You don't think breaking off the money-draining PC and TV divisions will help?
|
Sure I will. They've done away with the pc extir, but have yet to pull the trigger on the tv. Thing is, they have to actually do these things. They almost have to be a games only company, and at that point, will it be enough? Because even that has lost money too. Thing is, with all the money they owe, they may break even, which I doubt, and that leaves them with no cushion. That's tough for a company. I sincerely hope they come out of this. If we look at this objectively, even with the most optimistic outlook, things do not look good at all for Sony... And that's sad.
