They are INCREASING there product lineups. That question was more aimed at what are Sony upto because there seems to be a lot of synergy and stuff going on behind the scenes at Sony. Anyway i made a mistake mentioning it here in fanboy wars land so the end.
The losses Sony have taken are tiny in the bigger picture when considering the size of Sony. You think a couple of billion in losses is going to bankrupt a huge global conglomerate with assets worth $232billion?. More than the combined assets of Microsoft, Apple and Nintendo. As i said this thread seems to have been started by an insecure xbox fanboy.

Assets have exactly zilch to do with profits, and don't really effect stock prices either (only secondarily when referring to the companies current ratio, which is assets/liabilities and should be over 1.50, this tells banks whether or not a company can pay their bills and whether they should loan to the company or not). I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm just saying that listing the companies assets doesn't really mean diddly when it comes to the comapnies financial health. Especially for a manufacturing company whose assets are typically tied up in what are called "plant assets', things like buildings, equipments and automobiles. If you knew what percentage of those assets were actually somewhat liquid (cash, short-term investments) then you could use it to say that Sony is "doing good" based on their assets.
