There will be a PS6 and a NextBox… it’s just that Sony is cracking down on what some idiot MBAs have decided are “unrealized monitary streams”.

Everyone likes to deride idiot MBAs while also enjoying a stock market that returns on avg 8-10% per year vastly outpacing inflation in a developed, stable, wealthy country of all places. It's like that scene from margin call about normal people in big houses they can't actually pay for and big cars who pretend but would actually croak if things got really fair really quickly.

MBAs aren’t making the stock market go up.

Inflation is.

Inflation isn’t making anything go up faster than inflation though!

Well… yes.

But I think the undersold part would be inflation is likely far more correlated to rate and values the stock market going up, than the disclosed and reported inflation numbers given to you by the people directly responsible for monetary adjustments.

I mean if you don't want to believe in statistics, sure then left is up and apples are oranges and why do you even need strategy or management in a company at all?

Sounds great until the wheels fall off because MBAs decided to save a few bucks on "unnecessary" bolts to hold them on

That happens a lot less than people think, the stock market is a testament to that
