Once again I'm amazed at how people casually suggest getting rid of the TV division. Sure there's definitely an argument about it needing to be dropped, but something like that would have been unthinkable 10-20 years ago.
How times change.

Problem how? Actually, PS3 is making a profit since 2010. Vita manufacturing cost is 160 dollars. They're probably making profit on it aswell as the memory cards. If you read the article it says Sony loses money becoz of the TV division and losses will be even bigger because of tax write offs wich Sony can't use becoz the losses are so big.
If this article was posted in a financially oriented forum, the doom and gloom for the PS brand like here wouldn't even happen.

No they are not (http://www.pocketgamer.biz/r/PG.Biz/PlayStation+Vita/news.asp?b=related&c=30520)
this is probably why the memory cards are so expensive, to absorb the loss they are taking on the vita
Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.
Their profits are so minimal that's embarrassing to even mention it. Sony never released profit numbers of the PS3 and they never said what the manufacturing costs of the Vita are.

No one to blame but themselves. They just sit still while Samsung, LG and the likes dominate in the manufacturing side.
You can't compete in price when you don't make your own hardware parts.

Don't let him get to you, dude. He's probably just jealous that his favorite company isn't setting any records.

It was the "old" apple, c'mon, when they produced famous things like the newton or the office-free Power Macintosh. There's the pre-ipod (some say imac) apple and the post-ipod apple. Totally different. They succeeded in gaming in the post-ipod era.
And are you sure IBM and Microsoft falled from grace? Check their market cap.
With Sony, I agree, it's incredible how the mighty have fallen. Everything was Sony. Now I give you 100 bucks if you manage to find someone holding a Sony tablet within 1 hour. Make it 10 hours!

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
Excellent news! I'm still looking forward to the end of Sony. There are many better companies for all the electronics that they do. I'm ok with them staying in the movie & music business tho. Outside of that, it's retirement time for them!
