Gaming div seems safe nuff, they probably know damn well what will happen and when they will break even on the PS3 hardware.

The other divs have their ass over a frying pan, electronics especially.

UPDATED: Sony restructuring will not affect European games arm

Gaming div(other than European divs) might get on that frying pan too. ;P

 

SCEA should be safe.  Their developers in general produce more big hitting franchises than SCEE (God of War, Uncharted, Jak & Daxter - though Killzone 2 may swing the tide in SCEE's favor).

I could see SCEI being affected in some ways.  Lowering R&D on future consoles/handhelds, axing some of those 2nd party contracts with oddball developers for extremely niche titles that'll never leave Japan (that horse sim, among others).
