Can't surivive being a Walmart in electronics. They have to become specialists at something they're good at. Good luck!

It is sad. Sony has good smartphones, but Sony does not know how to sell them.

How come JT/Reuter's doesn't mention Hirai's first name or his position? Is this a new style rule for the Internet age?

Can anyone say "Clueless"? When developments are over-running your last "medium-term business plan", write another one. Can usually gain the CEO at least another six months. Although, since as the article states, Sony has had to cut its earnings forecastssix times under Hirai, the clock is likley ticking.

Wow, I would hate to be one of those 1,000. Hope they have some decent non-Sony connections to help with their mid-career job change. Oh, wait, this is Japan...
