If Sony will cut in the game division, it will probably be selling game studio's first.
No way in hell they'll drop SCE, it has been too successfull in the past to just drop after two years. And PSP is doing fine. It would be very ironical if Sony were the one to cut its console business to go handheld only. Not that I expect that btw.
But first party software support could be dwindling fast, as already seen by the scrapping of Eight Days and The Getaway 3.

Maybe they'd sell their games division. It's not unusal for a company to  "spin" off a division in hard times

EA or Acti-Blizzard could be interested in it if the chance arose. Maybe even an oddball like Toshiba or IBM, both Cell partners.

Sony definitely won't sell SCE, like I said vefore it has been very successfull in the past and has a lot of potential still.

The problem Sony has is that not only is it losing money, but their first party software doesn't have a very big userbase to sell to. And because PS3 does get a lot of games that are 360 multiplat the competition is killing. Resistance 2, Motorstorm 2 and LBP aren't the massive successes they need to be.

The overhead Sony has is enormous, they own more game studio's than Nintendo. I think it's inevitable that they have to sell some of those if SCE remains unprofitable.
