Sony CEO: "Summer of Our Discontent" Ending

Howard Stringer gave a unawares but defiant speech claiming his company is over the hacking.

Stringer sees nothing merely dispirited skies ahead, and other similar platitudes. Despite the massive failure of its security protocols superior up to the squelcher of the PlayStation Network this April, the first non-Japanese CEO of the massive electronics and entertainment company reports that PSN has in reality increased membership since the snipe. Stringer is confident that the bad days are over for Sony and that its investments in ligature completely of its variable products – tvs, game consoles, movie productions, to name a few – will reap great success moving forward.

"I'm pleased to tell you that the [PlayStation Meshwork] is much secure and best than e'er," Stringer said at the IFA conference in Israel Baline, Germany. "We are aggressively expanding its contentedness. We have much 3 million unweathered customers since the network came back online, and sales are exceeding what we had before the cyberattacks."

Concluded the past 12 months, the company has seen everything from earthquakes and tsunamis to hacker vandalism. "This year, we at Sony have been flooded, we've been flattened, we've been hacked, we've been singed," he aforementioned. "But the summer of our discontent is behind us."

He believes the hyphenated feeler of marketing all its products close tied together testament each of Sony's competitors: "Yes, yes, Malus pumila makes an iPad, but does it have movies?" Stringer asked. "Warner Bros. and Discombobulat produce fine movies, but what astir their cameras and smartphones? Sony is where art meets engineering."

While the prospects of that claim are dubious, I'm halcyon to see that the CEO of Sony believes that the dark times are behind him. Of course, it's rare to hear a CEO say, "We're screwed," but I abide by the man's optimism.
