Lets all put this into perspective. This is the first loss Sony has posted in 14 YEARS, in the worst global recession we've had since the great depression. This is in the same month that Toyota, the most consistantly profitable automotive company in the world, posted a $6.9 billion loss, and Toshiba, Sony's closest rival, posted a $3.5 billion loss.
One backwards quarter is not going to see Sony packing up shop, and it is most likely the electronic division (tv's, mp3 players, home theatre systems, etc) that will contribute the largest loss, not SCE, which Sony will most likely be relying on to pull it through the recession.
Yes, lots of fanboys would like to think Sony will disappear as a result, but the fact is this a small, completely understandable blip in a long chain of profits.
