The evaluation of any president is not just about results, especially if the expected result is impossible to achieve ("take this mess and make it profitable right now"). It's about results in context, and about to know if someone would probably do better.
The Sony situation has been bad for years, investing in it is risky, and that's before Kaz became president, so you can't blame it for that. That's the context. He didn't make the company a profitable company, but he made quite good decisions and acts :
- to turn back the Playstation business to a potential cash cow, and increase brand image and visibility by being number 1
- to have a significant and growing share of smartphone market, and avoid the fate of every other Japanese mobile phone company
- to move toward an exit of unprofitable business, like computers
This is acknowledged by market, which value shares higher. That's the result in context.
And then, about if someone else would do better, it's clear he shows better results in a shorter time than previous presidents. The market and analysts have not been loud about getting him out. And last, he's still in charge.
