Sony is in such dire straits they are selling their own real estate around the globe. This includes their holy land building, their iconic NYC headquarters and their birthplace. They sold the entire lot of Sony City in Japan. If you've been to Japan you know why that's so crucial.

Objective facts backed up by legitimate sources vs kids bitching and screaming inane comments like 'ur mad', etc. What a laugh for sales based forum.

Ironically the PS3 failed so badly that a book was published called "Why the PS3 failed."

It's available online if you can read Japanese.

The device cost Sony over 8 BILLION in losses.

For you little console warriors in the audience, this is more than double the loss incurred by the xbox division at Microsoft.

Sony as a whole is only valued at 18 Billion.

 

... There is something both tragic and hilarious about you calling us console warriors. O.o let's face it my friend, you are bucking for the Console Warlord hat at this rate.

Now Sony is falling behind Samsung Electronics Co. and Apple Inc., posting losses in five of the past six years and predicting another one to come.

Falling behind Samsung and Apple, OMG when did that happen..........

The long predicted bankruptcy and closure of Sony is finally underway.

Sony will now be de-listed from the Japanese Stock Exchange and will no longer have the support of the Japanese Government.

This is probably the most retarded thread I have seen on here in years. What is the point of this thread anyways?

Doesn't seem like a company who is going bankrupt anytime soon son:

Ahh you realize that is a quarterly, right? It wont even pay of the interest on their crippling debt. They will lose that and over a BILLION more annually again this financial year.

Sony is so desperate to pay off their debts they are selling assets back to credit holders in Japan.

Ironically the chemical business was at one time, very profitable for the company.

 

EDIT

 

Lot of things going for Sony this Quarter that won't be around for the rest of the year. The World Cup caused spikes in TV sales around the world. They're finally dumping the PC division which is saving money.
But, day late a dollar short. Japan doesn't seem exactly interested in buying out Sony. It's WAY too late to finally be posting profits. It's a matter of time. That being said, it is interesting to think about what will happen to the Playstation brand. Amazon or Apple have both expressed interest.



Lol, i messed up the thread, well it was messed up to begin with



This thread is ridiculous and Sony wont go under anytime soon, but PS4 can't save Sony. They still expect another year of losses even with the surge in PS4 sales.

Judging from his post history, appears to be a hard-core Nintendo fan, and when I say hardcore, I mean the kind of hardcore that have most other Nintendo fans standing off to one side, waving their hands frantically saying 'WE ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH HIM!' Prior posts suggest a long building resentment toward Sony, and considering their successful sales quarter, I'm guessing it boiled down into pure rage and he spent a day or two literally preparing all the posts for this thread, in some kind of Normandy Beach invasion style rant. It would explain why he keeps calling posts out so fast, unless he is literally, desperately searching as fast as humanly possible.

either way, I'm guessing that the company isn't actually doing as badly as he would like, and so he's hoping to rock the boat a little and spread some panic. God only knows he might be trying this, or planning to try this, in other forums. xP
