Restructuring can be anything... Reducing the number of products, layoffs, closing factories, selling assets to other companies or even closing parts of the company, it's all fair game. It's very uncertain what they will do... So far only the Electronics division and Sony Ericsson have done any specific announcements. The gaming division has been quiet as a mouse (other than assuring they're aiming for profitability).

this.
im not a business major or anything but i do believe sony got a big reality check. by this i mean they are now starting to realise that they need to cater more than just to the premium buyers. all these layoffs, closing factories, etc etc in the end are gonna bring this company back to its feet, and i hope they learn from this.
as for the gaming division they havent set a plan, and of course they are aiming for profitability. so im assuming they will not cut the price of the ps3 at all this year or if they feel the pressure or urge to it will come late 09. this way they can atleast start making some profit from this black hole.
imo this is a great time for young business entrepreneurs. you get to learn alot from these tough times...hopefully
