So will this be the new thing now? Don't worry about Sony or how bad it does, because at the end of the day the japanese government will save them?

Well, if America is anything to go by....yea, it my be a thing. Our auto and bank industry went down the toilet and lo and behold, the government bailed them out and now they're doing decent - good

 

You're forgetting that these companies had to pay back every cent the government loaned to them. Look at GM, yea they got bailed out, but they had to trim alot of fat (got rid of Pontiac, Hummer, Saturn etc... etc...) as part of the process. In fact, all of them had to trim something. Are you suggesting that if Sony were to go on a similar path, that Japan would bail them out without them having to pay them back or without doing some serious down sizing?
