Lol, gg - I could do better though, lizard men and aliens bro, aliens!

See this is how it goes, but in 1940 Sony was first put together, now the orignal owner of Sony was never mentioned because he didn't exist. The reality was that when Roswell happened it messed up the radio frequency and so they needed a tranciever to do that, but their ships fluxcapacitor must of been damaged because they couldn't make a large enough one, they embarked on a 50 year plan to make their tranciever but realized they needed to make what we called money because they didn't have free access to the mateirals.

Sony created a radio reciever on a smaller level to and they got the tech for another alien from the Al' teniar,twooar sector who then sold them to blue prints and materials, at that time that alien owned a company called AT&T. They made money off this and eventually hit mainstream, teir intent was set on that tranciever though or repairing the quad dimensioal depth conductor. They used the money to develop Cell technology and BluRay then shifted then realized they needed fast concise information flow, so they convinced the world that Binary was in, they embarked on this plan to link the Cells around the world to create the final numerical calibration in the design.

It's so obvious.

 finally there is someone talking some sense in this thread.

That theory is pretty complex, and I believe could be called illegal by many international courts.

I don't completely agree with Maelstorm's conclusion either, but I think his is more likely than yours, IMO.

Sony has billons in debt. Debt is money owed by borrowing or the selling of bonds. Who does Sony sell bonds to? Remember these bonds have an expiration date and have to be paid off in full plus interest. In order for Sony to pay off their obligations the need to generate revenue and profit. If the PS3 (which is a huge potential revenue generator) fails, Sony's bond holders, banks that provide credit to Sony and Sony itself will be in deep trouble. Analysts are paid to (a) prevent investors from dumping Sony's stock and (b) create an environment where the consumer has "hope" that their investment (PS3) wont go to waste.

Note that these analysts do not support Microsoft (Little or no debt) and Nintendo (Little or no debt) and release these charts after NPD data shows that the PS3 is in trouble.


 It's too bad a majority of Sony's operating income isn't through its Playstation branch.  You do know that Sony owns at least 1 record publisher, 1 movie publisher and another very lucritive electronics line (TVs).  Sony by no means depends on a profitable playstation division.   Once again, I also belive this conspiracy theory is illegal in many countries.

PS3 > X360, that's for sure. I think analysts simply believe that Wii's success is going to end, or PS3 is going to get a major boost when its price drops. And I, too, believe that PS3 is going to get a major boost when its price gets cut. However, it's very hard to say if then can cut it in time. Also, Playstation is a huge brand and huge brands tend to sell a lot. At the moment it seems Wii is going to win but it's not possible to be sure about that.

I'll bite, but take into account factors others mentioned.

Basically, there could be a reason, other than loans, that analyst want Sony's stock up more than they want Nintendo's and Microsoft's stocks up.

for my believers:

Quad dimensional depth conducters was mentioned before; we humans reffer to it as 4d graphics.

Investors don't invest their own money.

Unlikely. Sony is not in a good financial situation. They had to get semi-bailed-out by Dubai World. People think Sony is a healthy company, but the reality is that they aren't.

Saying Sony's PS3 is likely to "win" against the Wii is like saying Suzuki is likely to bury Toyota in 10 years. It isn't going to happen (market forces dont work like that) but the analysts are just doing their jobs. They have to put a good face on Sony.

Are you saying that analysts like it hard?
