Sony Says Recall Strains Battery Production

Sony said on Tuesday that a recall of up to 9.6 million of its personal computer batteries was overwhelming its production capacity. The stated reason for making the strain on production public has more to do with warning Wall Street that they may lose market share to other manufacturers then with any sort of PSA.

Maybe you are saying this because you like your Dell computer. Maybe you like your Xbox 360 or future-Wii. Please realize that getting rid of Sony would only make these other systems more expensive. Your wish for Sony's death is a wish for higher prices for yourself. If the PS3 vanished, Microsoft could charge more for their products, claiming the Wii doesn't compete (which it wouldn't in some respects). So be careful what you wish for. Wired says Sony is betting the farm [wired.com], I don't see it. The PS sold so much more than the Xboxen and 7th-gen consoles are the same fight as it ever was.
