Sony televisions are awesome. Don't get rid of them.

Sony needs to merge mobile with PlayStation and make phone under their own OS. Android is a money pit for everyone not named Samsung or Google. With their own devices they can turn things around and greatly strengthen Sony and the PlayStation brand.
The money has been their for years, but now PlayStation is quickly heading towardsbeing their most profitable business. The way things are going, and with the heavy hitting 1st party titles this year, I expect SIE to out profit Sony Financial every quarter of 2017. In all reality most of their remaining divisions are doing good, except mobile (see above). Sony pictures is in a down perios, but they can definitly turn it around. Cameras, sensors, and video/audio are making steady profits now, so I don't see any reason to dump them.
As I said above. Sony needs to merge mobile into PlayStation. PlayStation needs a wider range of products to stay competitive in the future, and they can benefit greatly from all the knowlegde and technologies that Sony mobile has.
Sony's TV division has turned it around. They are now profitable, and they are making very competitive TV's, at very low prices. They currently have the best LCD/LED TV on the market in the Z9D series, and they are bringing out the A1E OLED which people were calling the best TV at CES. Their TV division never stopped making the best displays on the market, they were just offering the wrong form factors for the main stream. Now they have finally sorted things out in the switch to LCD/LED and are making sure they are in the OLED market as well. Going forward, they should continue to profit and gain back market share.
On the O.P. This is a tough decision. They gain a lot in other divisions by being involved in movies and TV. It helps them in basically every other product they make, and service they sell. Dumping this division could have rippling effects on the rest of the company. There are definitly so things that need to change with Sony Pictures. They need to get rid of Ultra, the 4K streaming service that competes with PlayStation Video. That was a total late 90's/ early 00's Sony move letting that happen. They also need to stop going after niche films and start trying to make some mass market friendly stuff. They have had way to many films that are just aimed at way to small of audiences. The TV side is fine. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out. I still say merging Sony Mobile into Sony Interactive would be a much better play though. |
I don't think merging mobile with Playstation would chance anything
I think they should only sell smartphone componants to other smartphone manufacturers
PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m
Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

If Sony drops out of mobile, PlayStation will eventually fail. Going forward the only way to be successful is to have a brand and OS that spans across multiple form factors. They have to have PlayStations that range from Phones, to handhelds, to Tablets, to Laptops, to Consoles, to PC, and TV.
With OS's like Android, iOS, and Windows covering multiple form factors, and creating massive userbases, the days of being able to sustain a business around on niche device are coming to an end. PS4 is basically the only device that has any signifigance in the market with this single device approach, but even it is starting to feel the limits of being one device. Sales in the US are down even with new hardware, and VR last year.
Sony needs to merge mobile into PlayStation and create mobile PlayStation devices ASAP. They need to expand the presence of their OS and ecosystem, to create greater value and higher customer engagement. By having mobile device that run PS4 games and the PS4 OS, they can stay connected to users 24/7. Having that constant connection is vital to the continued success of any platform right now, and even more so going forward.
I really hope Sony does not just become a component provider, because no one else in the industry innovates like them. The only two companies in the entire electronics space that I have ever seen focus on innovation are Sony and Nintendo. The rest are all about profits and riding that comfort zone. I would absolutly hate a future where iPhones, Amazon Fire Boxs, and PC's just rinse and repeat forever. Since the car industry is dead already, I really don't know where I would go if this happened.
Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Kaz just moved himself on to the board and opened an office for himself in Culver city.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.
Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
Goodbye Amy Pascal. Call George Soros though, he loves people like you.
My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.
