they make the best darn phones. sad if it happens.

They need to rid them selves of all that are a loss, tv phone what ever.

Be more apple like, sale a select few products. PS being a pillar of sony.,

At least they're willing to make tough calls and axe bleeding divisions, which is what they may need to do to get back in the black.

"Sony management recognizes that "no business is forever", one source told Reuters. Although no deals are on the table, "every segment now needs to understand that Sony can exit businesses"

Well, that should keep each division on their toes. I can't believe it has reached this point tbh. Hopefully, in the next fiscal years they can turn things around. 

There recent phones were ok, especially the compacts, but started way too expensive. Though prices dropped quite fast. Anyway, Samsung and the chinese companies are eating up so much market share, I guess there is not much to win for Sony.
