The world's No. 2 electronics maker plans to tap the domestic bond market for as much as 300 billion yen ($2.8 billion) to ramp up production of chips for its PlayStation 2 game console to keep pace with demand and repay debt. bloomberg.com Tokyo, July 25 (Bloomberg) -- Sony Corp., one of the 15 worst- performing stocks on Japan's Nikkei 225 index this year, is hoping its debt gets a kinder reception from investors. It might not be a vain hope. ``Sony has a high name value, and a decent credit rating, so anything they issue would tend to make for a good buy,'' said Yousuke Miyake, senior portfolio manager at Nissay Asset Management Co., with assets of around 7 trillion yen.
