Seeing the good in the bad?

I would like to wholeheartedly agree with you. However the speculation is fairly consistent with past behavior on the part of Sony. The company is electronics centric to a fault. This wouldn't be the first profitable division that would have been sold for the sin of not being part of the core business. Most of them have actually been fairly profitable for Sony. Absolutely it flies in the face of logic to invest in unprofitable divisions by selling off profitable divisions.

I suppose there is a logic that electronics offer greater long term profit potential. However with lower labor costs, and built in almost immediate obsolescence. I am not seeing a large market for premium high end electronic devices. Well at least one where Sony is likely to gain dominance any time soon. What can I say I cannot see it, but that doesn't mean that Sony doesn't see whatever it is.

Anyway the source is citing two reasons for selling Sony Pictures. The first being a result of market pressure, and the second being that the asset is expendable, because it is not a core business for Sony. That isn't necessarily illogical as I pointed out above. I confess to being kind of torn about whether it is just stupid, or so stupid as to be possible. Out of curiosity if you had to council Sony to sell a large asset which one would your recommend as a good sale for Sony.
