Last week, something rather extraordinary occurred at Sony.
Not only did incoming CEO Kazuo Hirai admit that the electronics behemoth could potentially be in serious financial danger, he all but blamed an attitude of complacency for its latest NZ$2.5 billion quarterly loss.
This surprisingly frank concession is all the more remarkable given that Hirai hails from the PlayStation side of the business, Sony's most successful division, but one that can hardly be lauded as hanging five atop a wave of innovation.
