Quote of note:
Quote:
Hirai, a 51-year old Sony veteran known for reviving the PlayStation gaming operations through aggressive cost-cutting, said he would not hesitate to scale back or withdraw from businesses if they were not competitive.
"I have a very strong sense of crisis about the environment surrounding us," Hirai told a news conference. "We cannot be afraid to make painful choices for the future of Sony. Our rivals and the operating environment won't wait for us."

They've already scaled back on ereaders so that quote could be ominous.
On the other hand they are actually delivering updates for the T1 so...
Things may get interesting...
...or, Sony being Sony, nothing may change.
