If you look at the share performance of some of the biggest media companies over the last two years, roughly since Stringer was named as the first non-Japanese head of Sony, you might be surprised to see Sony among the leaders.
There is evidence to suggest that the new course the company has pursued, not to mention luck and timing - has yielded promising results.
There are three main reasons. One is that Sony has gone a long way toward mending its electronics business, which accounts for roughly two-thirds of an expected $70 billion in sales in the year ended in March 2007.
The PlayStation 2 remains the biggest seller among all gaming systems. And Sony took a big gamble by building new Blu-Ray players into the PS3, which contributed to delays and higher prices.
At the very least, the "Sony United" strategy of Stringer has proved that some of the engineers, marketers and Hollywood types can actually talk to one another.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
The PlayStation 2 boasted an impressive collection of stealth games. Here are some of the best stealth games worth experiencing
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
*faints*
who the he77 approved this? There's not supposed to be any positive SNE news posted around here. Guess you didn't get the memo, huh?
Anyone found supporting Sony United here will meet their fate with a bubble - busting fury the world has never seen. You'd better get a clue mate. [e/sarc]
damn 70billion. That's a lot. Makes me wonder how much Matsushita expects to sell this year [the world's largest]?
but, Mart said that the Ps3 will drive Sony out of biz. And if the Mart said it, it must be true.
"The PlayStation 2 remains the biggest seller among all gaming systems"... even more than the wii? didnt xbox 360 sell more consoles than the PS2? how is it the biggest seller among ALL gaming systems?
I hope that the rest of the article is not as inaccurate as that statements... since it would render it as simple propaganda.
Also, yes... PS3 sells sinking every single month since launch.. should be ignore since it's a sign of great things to come.
It was a couple of months before the release of the PS3. I also remember when MSFT was in the low 20's and nintendo in the 15's! Now SNE is at 50, MSFT @ 30 and Nintendo in the 40's!
