What this shows. A good leader doesn't necessarily get media praise when making tough decisions which will help both customer and company in the long run. It also shows that pandering to the media gets you praise despite poor performance. Jim and Phil are not the same https://twi…

Sony reported strong results despite global economy facing downturn. PS5 shipment is improving drastically, with Sony raising that forecast for this FY. Focus is whether (3rd party) software sales will follow that positive momentum, analysts say. https://www.bloomberg.com/...
