We already know that Sony is closing its Walkman division, officially bowing out to digitally distributed music. I would expect their home computer division to fold also, with the dominance of Dell, HP and Apple in the computer/laptop markets.

After the success of the PS2, I doubt that Sony would outright kill off its gaming division just because of misfortune with the PS3. They WOULD be smart to terminate some of their exclusivity contracts though. Its a luxury they can't afford right now.

Where did you read about Sony discontinuing the walkman products?

Didn't Sony recently finish buying BMG Music? It would be quite weird to sell it right after buying it...

 

 

if you remember in the early 90s, kamart bought and sold boarders, walden books, office max, payless drurgs. each was oowned from 2 to 5 years....

 

 

I think they are very likely to sell at minimum stakes in sony BMG, but i see sony ericeson as the bigger sacrifical cow
