Sony is vastly outperforming in the stock market. While the stock market is 2% down today, Sony has been going steadily up since this report came out. It's up by more than 3% today.

I would guess that investors are taking this report seriously.

shit it went up about 20% in last month,
about 12% in last 5 days.
I was thinking about putting money in as well.

shit 52 week high is more than double.

I'm also thinking about activision/blizzard, they are going to skyrocket in like 1 years time.

Investors almost always react favorably to news of a restructuring/overhaul such as this, but you could also infer that there is a lot of collateral damage with the current uncertainties of the markets, a recession, and the credit/banking crisis. ATVI and ERTS, in particular, are off a further 30-40% from even their initial October lows. It was worse with overreactions in the banking sector; banks with limited exposure to the credit mess saw their stock value go into the toilet with everybody elses.

Look at NTDOY.PK. Despite steamrolling ahead unfazed, Nintendo's sheets lost over half their value in October when the market took a dive. It still hasn't recovered, despite the ridiculous Christmas.

@theprof00: ATVI being 8.20 a share at open today just kills me, though. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

dude let atvi drop a little more. That shit is going to skyrocket come starcraft 2 and diablo 3, and a new tony hawk.
i bet it will hit 30 within a year.

Anybody still want to argue that Sony is going to jettison the gaming division?

"Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley is in love with the idea of massively multiplayer games on the PlayStation 3, suggesting that one day the console will account for nearly half of the company's business."
