Simple as this; bigger company equals more equity equals bigger consequences when it starts to fail with a lot more to catch up.
The problem is when they start downsizing divisions with all divisions producing full product volume at a loss and then you downsize but technically need full product volume sold at profit to regain all the equity over time, it becomes a slight paradox and one hell of an issue.
But, Sony are doing fine, despite having tremendous losses in some divisions they've also made some on others and will get through it.
Seeing how hard Japan has been hit by the financial crisis, its almost a wonder they're not faring a whole lot worse.
