Another question guys.. Are these companies too big to ever go bankrupt?

sony's gaming division almost went bankrupt, but as whole companies no way in hell.

Even if SOny's gaming division was about to be bankrupt wouldn't the other divisions help them out?

maybe, idk how they work with there divisions

It doesn't quite work like that. A division of a company can't go bankrupt, only the company can go bankrupt. All debt incurred by a division of a company is backed by the company as a whole. If Playstation was a wholly owned subsidiary(company) of Sony then the the Playstation "company" could go bankrupt and the rest of Sony would not have to incur the unpaid debt. 

lol finally, a response that didn't make me laugh.

anyway spartenOmega (man you like starting threads lol) as i said in your other thread about this, SCE is but a portion of the sony corporation. While the ps3 may have a decent effect on the company, it would not make or break it. In the past 15 yrs, last yr was their first loss and by not means a huge loss compared even to the previous year.

Having the ps3 in 3rd place isn't the biggest of deals to the company. dun get me wrong, its not like theyre losing pennies here, it is substantial, but still.

and finally no company is too big to go belly up, as history has always shown, even the biggest and bestest eventually fall.
