| Truthsayer said: So sony sells ps3 cell production to Toshiba, and then Toshiba sells the cell chips back to sony? Is this correct? |
The plant hasn't been sold yet and Toshiba has been involved in making the cell chip from day one. The cell processor is a collabaration of Sony, Toshiba and IBM. http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/power/library/pa-cellperf/

Sony also has an entire semi conductor division with enough expertise in it's field. http://products.sel.sony.com/semi/ The reason it's getting sold is to raise money for the Bravia lcd televisions, it's doing rather well but needs to lower the price more because of fierce competitionin that field.
Also, it's not being sold to raise funds for the PS3 like a lot of people suggest. Sony announced that they started saving for the initial loss years ago in one of their financial reports.
