how much trouble is sony in

[bill]

i mean i think sony must be having some kind of major problems if they had a press release the ps3 will be in short supply in th coming months.
sony has put out some really bad products over the last few years and the ps3 had been selling ok in a depressed console market but now they are saying it will be in short supply.
i have a feeling the days of sony being a maker of electronics might be coming to a end.
they have not had any sucess with trying to release mp3 players.
wierd but i think perhaps sony may be having problems paying some of there suppliers.

Haven't heard any new about Sony but like all manufacturers I'm sure their gross sales are way down. Besides the PS3 what truly huge products do they have?

sony ericson cel phones.

sony ericson cel phones.

Are they really that huge? Doesn't seem there that huge anymore when compared to the other monsters of that business. I could be wrong but I don't see it.

i do not think so either you got a lot of blackberrys and samsungs and palm htc just name a few that looks like they are diong well in the cell market

i would like to think that a company with a 80 billion dollar revenue stream is considered to be huge.

Okay bill I feel like I just got blind folded and spun around, first you question Sony's trouble then you say how huge their revenues are.
I think I need to go have another glass of wine because I lost track of where this is going.

 

[bill]

well if a company has a revenue stream of eighty billion dollars and they used to have a revenue stream of a hundred billion dollars they are going to make really big changes to keep there bottom from dropping out.
i am not saying sony is going bankrupt but as a producer of home electronics i think that the one time king of the video game industry might be redirecting its focus into other ends of there business.

wow i just took a look at nintendos sales and their sales for the wii plumetted 88 percent.
yikes maybe the consoles day has come
