I had two Sony car stereos (different models) that both blew a channel on the internal amp (different cars and speakers I hastily add), I had a friend who also had a stereo that blew on 4 occasions and was fixed each time with Sony thanks to the extended warranty he had the foresight to take out. I've had a portable CD player break by them, I had 2 PS2's break and 1 PS1.
Despite all this I bought a PS3 which thankfully appears significantly better quality so far than my past experiences. As you can guess from my perspective and many others this image of Sony quality has long since disappeared. One little ray of light though is my brother in law has just had his old Sony DVD player fail which despite being a early model gave him nearly 10 years good service, now that's more like the quality you expect given the high regard their brands seem to have.
To answer the OP's original question, they should only leave if their gaming divsion became a liability to the survival of the entire company. Thankfully they've not made anything like the huge number of blunders Sega did to make them withdraw so I expect them to be around for a PS4.
