After that I stopped reading, how dare he cost cut whilst running a company that's hemorrhaging money.

While cutting costs was absolutely necessary, so does innovation to sell products, especially as an electronics company. You wouldn't buy a five year old TV set over a newer, much better one, right? Maybe that is what they are argueing about, as I don't notice much new stuff from Sony coming out lately which ain't Playstation or Movies related. And naturally, if there are no new products there, their sales will flunder in these areas.

In short, they do have a point, but are also vastly overdramatising - for now at least.

I guessed you missed CES 2015? Worlds thinnest 4K TV, new phones, crazy new Tablet that is truly iPad killer, and fantastic projector that only needs to be 5 inches from the wall.
