The gaming division would be picked for its most immediately profitable assets. Sony's studios might get purchased, the PS2 would probably get purchased. The PSP may get purchased.
The PS3 would be left to die because it has no hope for profitability unless you are willing to risk a lot. And then it is less likely to profit than sure-profits like the PS2.
I think a lot of people underestimate the severity of Sony's position. It could very well be in serious trouble in a year if the economy doesn't turn around by then.
When glancing at Sony's balance sheet, be sure to take note that the numbers are often listed in Yen (or millions of Yen).
