Why is this in the Sony forums?

 

.........

Squilliam does have a point, SonyEricsson is a separate company from Sony.

Sony own 50% of it as a joint venture with Ericsson after Ericsson messed up massively and almost lost their business.

I told everyone ALL ALONG

the Playstation Division aint SONY's worst performing!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Sony needs to buy out Ericsson's stake in the business and combine it with Vaio, Walkman, and SCE under Kaz Hirai.

Then they need to get to work on a PS Phone that'll be like the iPhone, incorporating technologies from all four branches.



@makingmusic

incorparating technologies from different branches is what got PS3 in 3rd Place

SONY needs to change it strategy not further it!

Depends on how you look at it. For the last few years Sony Ericsson has been profitable as far as I remember, their big trouble started quite recently.

It sure is getting more jobs cut than SCE though. So far SCE has been very lucky, not losing almost any jobs even though they've been losing tons of money.

this.

Incorporating technology from each devision is what makes Sony so good, and the PS3 so awesome.

I would crawl through broken glass to get a PSP phone with 3mp camara!! it already does everything else!

I'm sure they were not the ones behind "blu-ray" decisions that got the ps3 into the 3rd place..........



@Scruff

yeah it made the PS3 so awesome

but also SO VERY expensive

I love my PS3 & imo its the best console ever

but their strategy of ALL IN 1 got them in 3rd place

& SONY need to change that



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
